The President has said the greatest commitment to Islam is for Muslims to put its good virtues into practice. In his Eid-el-Kabir message on Saturday, he asked Muslims in the country to make justice and righteousness the guiding principle of their everyday life.
President Muhammadu Buhari made the remarks in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu. “Extremism is like a cancer, which must be detected and destroyed from its early stages of growth,” he was quoted as saying in the statement.
He added, “We should be the mirror through which others see the good virtues of our faith. “Islam is a religion of peace and we should avoid violent extremist ideas that give Islam a wrong name because our conducts leave more lasting positive impressions than what we say by word of mouth.”
