Emir Sanusi leads Friday prayer, says no one can question God
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said no one can ask God for explanation on any issue.
The monarch said this in his sermon at the Kofar Kudu Central Mosque in Kano, where he led the Juma’at prayer.
The sermon focused on belief in Allah, importance of patience and the need to accept destiny as one of the articles of faith.
“Whoever believes that Allah alone gives everything must take his decision wholeheartedly. No one asks Allah’s reasons for anything.
“We were told that whoever does not accept that destiny is from Allah, his belief is not complete. One should be thankful in good and bad situations. We must believe that whatever happens to us is predestined and what we couldn’t have is also from God.
“We are fast approaching
Zhul Hijja, which is very beneficial; and we must observe supplications these days.”
The monarch subsequently led prayers and later went back to the palace.
Meanwhile, the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero also observed his Friday prayer at the Nasarawa mini palace, alongside teeming supporters and followers.
