اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئًا فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ جَنَّةَ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُ ذِكْرًا طَيِّبًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَنُورًا فِي آخِرَتِهِ.

O Allah, forgive Your servant Muhammadu Buhari, elevate his rank among the righteous, and make his grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise. Cleanse him of his sins as a white cloth is cleansed of stains.

As the sacred month of Muharram continues, we invite all faithful to observe the Jumu’ah prayers with reflection, unity, and renewed commitment to righteousness. The 23rd of Al-Muharram is a moment to reaffirm our moral compass, deepen our remembrance of Allah (SWT), and draw lessons from the early days of the Islamic calendar.
Recommended Intentions and Reflections:
Gratitude for the blessing of a new Hijri year
Supplication for peace, justice, and wise leadership in Nigeria
Reflection on the trials of the righteous and the reward of steadfastness
> “Indeed, those who have said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ and then remained steadfast — the angels will descend upon them…”
— Surah Fussilat, 41:30
Let the Jumu’ah khutbah this Friday stir not just words, but actions that honour truth over hypocrisy, sincerity over spectacle, and faith over pretense.
Ameen.
*Oh Allah we give thanks to You and Glorify your name for the ability to witness another Friday. Oh Allah, may it not be our last. Ya Allah, strengthen our relationship with You and move us further away from the cursed one. Oh Allah, we seek Your guidance, forgiveness and blessings upon ourselves, our families and loved ones. Ya Allah let Your mercy be upon us now and always, Ameen.
Jummah Mubarak
