Cleric Cautions Youths On Illegal Acquisition Of Wealth
Alhaji Ismaeel Folaranmi Salahudeen Amala is the Founder and President of An-Najihun Islamic Organisation. In his New Year message, he spoke about issues relating to governance and urged the people to assist one another in this era of general hardship in an interview with Kunle Bakare. Excerpts:
There is no doubt that there is hardship in the country and the suffering is too much, what measures do you think the government and the people can take to get reduce this?
I will start by telling you that the research has shown that the hardship is not only in Nigeria, but all over the world as dictated by the prices of crude oil and petroleum. We only need prayers to avert this harsh economy because it tells much on Nigerians, infact a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet.
The first thing I want the people to know is that the present situation is the design of God and If we believe this our people will not look for money in dubious means. Secondly, the government should do their own parts by giving palliatives to the people to cushion the effect of the hardship. I am using this medium to tell the government functionaries to know that it is God that put them in the position they occupy. Thirdly the masses should assist themselves, I mean those, who have should remember the less-privileged. If all these are put in place things will be a bit better for the people.
What is your advice to Nigerians as we move ahead this 2024?
Well my advice to the people is to take things easy and pray to Allah because the hardship is unbearable. They should not engage in illegal acts because of the hardship and they should believe that tough times don’t last.
What do you think is the way out of internet fraud and the “japa” syndrome?
The only way out is for the family to train their wards in the way of God. They should also educate them or let them learn trades or vocations. Above all, the government should also provide employment for the people and farming should be encouraged because some youths are interested in farming, but they don’t have the resources to start the business. I think if the government can implement a sincere loan scheme with little interest so that the youths and many jobless people will have something to do and there will be food sufficiency.
Despite the preaching by both Christians and the Muslims the country is still being ruled by terrible leaders, what do you think is responsible for this?
The best way to answer this is that majority of the preachers are self centered and they are interested in what their family members will eat, while some were not genuinely called. The way out is that we should have the fear of God and understand the scriptures.
