‘Stop Using Your Mosques To Preach Hate’ – Emir Of Kano Warns Muslim Clerics

Muslim Clerics in the country have been warned
by the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi
II to desist from using their mosques to preach
hate among Nigerians.
The Emir gave the warning in his sermon at the
ultra-modern mosque of the Federal University of
Technology, Minna, Niger State on Friday.
He also led the first Friday prayers in the
mosque after inaugurating it. The inauguration of
the mosque was one of the activities that
marked the school’s 26th convocation and 35th
anniversary.
He said it was unfortunate that some Muslims,
especially clerics, were hiding under the sanctity
and immunity of the holy places to set one part
of the society against the other.
The monarch described it as totally against the
tenets of Islam.
He said, “Muslim clerics, and indeed all Muslims,
should preach peace among the adherents and
work to achieve peace with members of other
religions.”
He asked Muslims all over the country to unite
and forge a common front for the propagation of
the religion.
Sanusi also called for religious tolerance among
members of the two major religions in Nigeria,
saying it was the panacea for peace in the
country.
