The Right Prayer Group once again provided a platform for meaningful engagement as it hosted a thought-provoking Ramadan lecture in Abuja.
Under the leadership of its founder, Sheikh Abdur-Rauf Abdul-Hameed Oloriomokewu, the gathering attracted Muslims from diverse backgrounds, reinforcing the group’s commitment to blending spiritual reflection with social consciousness.
The lecture took place on February 22 at the Conference Hall of the National Mosque in Abuja, drawing a large audience of faithful eager to deepen their understanding of key religious and national issues.
At the center of the discussion was the need to strengthen awareness and proper implementation of Zakat within the Muslim community.
In his presentation, Sheikh Oloriomokewu explained that Zakat goes beyond ritual worship, describing it as a structured economic system designed to reduce poverty, promote fairness, and foster social balance.
He emphasized that when effectively administered, Zakat serves as a sustainable welfare mechanism capable of narrowing socio-economic gaps and strengthening unity within society.
The event also expanded the conversation to include national tax reforms, examining how fiscal policies intersect with ethical and faith-based economic principles. Participants explored themes of equity, transparency, and accountability, highlighting how Islamic economic values can provide moral insight into modern taxation and public finance systems.
The presence of lawmakers, senior government officials, and members of the media underscored the importance of the gathering. Their attendance reflected growing recognition of the constructive role religious institutions can play in shaping public discourse and encouraging responsible governance.
In a time of economic transition and policy debates, the programme reaffirmed that Islam presents a comprehensive framework for life—one that advocates justice, compassion, and integrity in both personal conduct and national administration.
Through such engagements, the Right Prayer Group continues to demonstrate that faith remains a vital voice in addressing contemporary societal challenges.
