“I want to thank everyone for their kind support through this maiden Ramadan lecture which is aimed to further propagate the legacy of our father, late Chief Adebayo Yusuf who was an influential figure and philanthropist. He was a role model and fervent advocate for humanitarian aid and welfare support for those in need.
While speaking on the theme ‘Believe’, Imam Muheez Tantawi harped on the importance attached to believing in whatever you set your heart to do. He stated that irrespective of where you find yourself either in public service, private or political assignments you should always stand firmly on your belief.
“Even in Islam, the five pillars all hinge on ‘believing in Allah’ the Most Beneficial, the Most Merciful. The other four pillars are unimportant if you don’t believe in Allah.” Imam Tantawi added.
Thereafter, all invited guests were provided with a bag full of food and palliative support to take to their different homes.
