Arafat: Saraki Urges Nigerians To Pray For Stability And Peace

Senate President Bukola Saraki Joins Nigeria Muslims To Observe Prayer On Mount Arafat.

While Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, Senate President Bukola Saraki has urged Nigerians to use today to pray for the stability and peace of the county.

This is also as 55,000 Nigerians joined 1.6 million fellow Muslims on the plains of Mount Arafat today, August 20, in commemoration of the Hajj holy rites in makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Being the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (the Month of Hajj), widely known as the Day of Arafat, pilgrims of vast nationalities trooped from their previous camp in the tent city of Mina, to nearby plains of Arafat, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave his farewell sermon, according to Islamic belief.

See Saraki’s Tweet below:

Let us devote today, the Day of Arafat, to seek Allah’s intervention in our nation. Let us pray for peace, stability and unity, so that all Nigerians can realize their genuine hopes and aspirations. Amin. #Arafah pic.twitter.com/3NJuCBnoie
