Al-Ilory Conference: Sultan Counsels Islamic Clerics
The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar II, yesterday in Ilorin, Kwara State capital, canvassed the entrenchment of the right Islamic teaching framework by Muslims with a view to solving the growing social upheavals in the country.
He also charged Muslims to preserve the work of intellectual Muslims in order to spread knowledge which will assist in solving problems that could emerge in their domains.
Abubakar made the call in his address at the international conference on the life and work of Shaykh Adam Abdullahi Al-Ilory (1917-1992) organised by the Department of Religious Studies, University of Ilorin, at the university auditorium.
The Sultan urged Muslims to always ensure that the work of muslim scholars are consciously preserved for use of the younger generation.
He admonished Muslims to learn from the work of eminent Islamic scholars so that they will use their wisdom in solving their contemporary problems.
Abubakar asked Muslims to remain united irrespective of ethnic groups to achieve excellence and development among the Ummah.
According to him, it is only by coming together that they will be able to overcome their challenges and move to greater heights.
The monarch explained that Islam is predicated on knowledge in an Islamic society, adding that Muslims should always try to put in place a society that thrives on education for development.
He said the programme being organised on Sheikh Adam Al-Ilory was a welcome development in the Islamic community.
Abubakar noted that Sheikh Adam had been able to demonstrate his support to the development of Islamic education through the establishment of his Arabic school “Markaz” in Abeokuta and Lagos.
