Yerima's Message to the Muslim Ummah
"I heartily congratulate all Muslim faithfuls in Ona Ara Local Government, Oyo State, and beyond on the celebration of Hijrah 1448AH.
The Islamic New Year is not merely a transition from one calendar year to another; it is a reminder of the remarkable journey of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), whose migration from Makkah to Madinah remains a timeless lesson in faith, sacrifice, perseverance, leadership, and hope.
As we begin this new Islamic year, I encourage everyone to renew their relationship with Allah, strengthen the bonds that unite us, and recommit ourselves to values that promote peace, justice, compassion, and mutual respect.
The strength of any society lies in its unity. Regardless of our differences, we must continue to work together in harmony for the growth, development, and prosperity of Ona Ara Local Government. Let us build bridges of understanding and cooperation that will advance our collective aspirations.
I also urge well-meaning individuals to remember the less privileged among us. This sacred season calls for kindness, generosity, and sincere concern for the welfare of others. Through acts of charity and compassion, we can bring comfort to those in need and make our communities stronger and more inclusive.
To our vibrant youths, I encourage you to remain focused, disciplined, and determined. The story of Hijrah teaches us that every challenge can be transformed into an opportunity through faith, hard work, and perseverance. You are the future of our society, and your positive contributions are essential to building the Ona Ara of our dreams.
As we celebrate Hijrah 1448AH, I pray that Almighty Allah grants every family peace, divine protection, good health, abundant blessings, and success in all lawful endeavors. May this new Islamic year bring renewed hope, greater opportunities, and lasting prosperity to our people.
Happy Hijrah 1448AH."
