President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to understand that all the Holy Books revealed by Allah preach peaceful coexistence among people.
Buhari stated this on Saturday in Katsina at the closing ceremony of the 32nd National Qur’anic Recitation Competition.
‘’All the Books of Almighty Allah teaches us same thing, that is how to live in peace with one another.
‘’It is clear that Quran is the greatest encyclopedia which contains all aspects of human life.
‘’Quran teaches us how to be fair and just to all including the non-Muslims.
‘’It has also been stated that during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him, when Muslims were being persecuted, he asked them to migrate to a Christian Kingdom in Ethiopia, where they lived peacefully,’’ he said.
The President was represented by Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika.
He said that the Quran should not be used as a decoration in houses, hence the need for reflecting on the teachings contained therein.
In his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto, urged states and local governments in the country to intensify efforts towards ensuring peace in their domains.
