The 15th Emir of Kano Kingdom, Mohammed Sanusi II on Friday attended the Jumaa’t Prayer at the Kofar Arewa Central Mosque with encouraging words to his co-believers.
The prayer came on Friday after a moment of uncertainty and tension in Kano after a concern was raised on who will lead the prayers as the authentic Emir of the Kano Emirate.
Mohammed Sanusi II and Aminu Ado Bayero have both been involved in differences of who should mount the throne as the Emir.
While on a voyage, Sanusi II was presented the Emir of the Kano Emirate while a new bill that dissolved the previous existing 5 Emirates was passed and signed to law, returning Kano to have just one emirate in existence.
Addressing congregants, Emir Sanusi highlighted the significance of belief in God’s omnipotence, especially as the Islamic calendar approaches Zhul Hijja, a month known for its spiritual benefits.
“Whoever believes that Allah alone gives everything must take the decision of Allah wholeheartedly. No one asks Allah’s reasons for anything,” the monarch said.
He also explained the concept of destiny in Islam, stating, “We were told that whoever did not accept destiny is from Allah, his belief is not complete. One should be thankful in times of good and bad situations. We must believe that whatever happens to us is predestined from God and what we couldn’t have is from Him.”
