WRITERS GREET MUSLIMS AS RAMADAN COMMENCES

 

Writers under the aegis of the Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW Global) have extended heartfelt greetings and warm wishes to Muslims across the country as the holy month of Ramadan begins. The society expressed its collective joy and solidarity with Muslim faithful as they embark on the sacred period of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

The message, issued by the President of the Society, Wole Adedoyin, was shared through a press statement released from Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State. The statement emphasized the significance of Ramadan as a time for spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and communal solidarity, all of which are in line with the core values of peace and unity that the society strives to promote.

In the statement, Adedoyin noted that Ramadan offers an opportunity for all Nigerians, regardless of their faith, to reflect on the importance of charity, compassion, and unity. He encouraged Muslims to use the sacred month not only to strengthen their relationship with Allah but also to continue promoting peace and understanding in the society.

“The beginning of Ramadan serves as a reminder to us all that faith, perseverance, and empathy are key elements in building a harmonious society. It is a time to forgive, to renew relationships, and to give generously to those in need. As writers, we recognize the power of words in shaping our world, and we encourage all to speak with kindness and love during this blessed period,” said Adedoyin.

He further reiterated that the Society of Young Nigerian Writers remains committed to fostering interfaith dialogue and cultural understanding. As an organization that thrives on diversity, the SYNW Global believes that the shared values of compassion, patience, and kindness during Ramadan can serve as a powerful unifying force among Nigerians from all walks of life.

Adedoyin also noted the importance of maintaining the spirit of Ramadan beyond the fasting period. “Let the spirit of Ramadan inspire us to carry out acts of kindness and charity every day. The values of Ramadan – empathy, discipline, and communal responsibility – should transcend the month itself and be integrated into our daily lives,” he said.

The SYNW Global President also urged the Muslim community to pray for the nation’s progress and prosperity. He emphasized that in times of challenge, collective prayers and a focus on spiritual growth could provide the strength needed to overcome adversity. As Ramadan fosters both individual reflection and collective action, he believes it is a period that can help renew the collective will to build a better Nigeria.

The press statement further expressed support for the Muslim community’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and unity during the holy month. Adedoyin urged all Nigerians to show respect for one another’s faiths, particularly during this time, and to ensure that the sacredness of the season is observed in harmony and mutual respect.

The Society of Young Nigerian Writers, in closing, sent its best wishes to Muslim faithful across the country and assured them of its prayers for a fruitful and blessed Ramadan. The society called for greater understanding and shared experiences, encouraging young Nigerians to reflect on the importance of this period and to use it as an opportunity to uplift others.

“May this Ramadan bring blessings, peace, and joy to all Muslims. We stand in solidarity with you in prayer and love, wishing you a month full of spiritual growth, self-discovery, and renewed faith,” concluded Wole Adedoyin, the President of SYNW Global.
