Speaking under the topic “Walking in the Light”,the World Acclaimed Preacher and Founder of Academic for Islamic Propagation (ACADIP),Mallam Yusuf Adepoju affirmed that Prophets Abraham, David, Moses, Ishmael, Jesus and Muhammad all threaded in the messages of light at different times of their prophethood.
He said, “Whenever we follow the instructions of the Almighty Allah, we are walking in the light”, stressing that prostration is the best form of worship in Islam.
Describing life as an ephemeral destination,Mallam Adepoju also portrayed human life as a building with two opposite doors through which a soul enters and exits at destined periods.He added that “this world is a place of work while the hereafter is a destination of accountability.”
The Chairman of the occasion and Baba Adinni of Yorubaland,Edo and Delta, Alhaji Sharafa Tunji Ishola in his speech, described Islam as a religion of peace while reinforcing that lack of knowledge made some people believe that Islam was a religion of terrorism.
