Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has joined millions of Muslim faithful in performing this year’s Lesser Hajj (Umrah) in Saudi Arabia.
The governor announced this in a message made available to newsmen in Ilorin on Friday morning.
“Very early today, I performed the Lesser Hajj (Umrah) on the first night of the last 10 days of Ramadan 1446 AH, during which we are encouraged to seek the Night of Majesty (Laylatul-Qadr).
“As millions gather to worship God and circumambulate the blessed and sacred House of God, the Ka’bah, I pray to God to answer our prayers, grant us the blessings of these days, bless our country, ease our affairs, and guide us aright at all times.
“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu annaa! – O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive us,” the message read.
