_April 10th, 2024_
His Royal Majesty, Ọba Peter Oluwole Ipadeola Ilufemiloye, Akinyooye III, along with his entourage, which included the council of chiefs, royal family members, political functionaries, members of Ifon Progressive Union, Home Branch, Palace Officials and security agents attended the Eid prayer at Orolu Central Eid in Ifon. Kabiyesi joined in observing the two rakats of the Eid prayer, which was led by the Chief Imam of Ifon, Sheikh, Alh. Muheebulahi Abdulsalam Adesina III.
In the sermon delivered by the Chief Imam, focus was on the importance of sharing food items (Zakatul-fitr) with the needy and less privileged members of the community, emphasizing the spirit of giving and compassion that needed to preceed Eid prayer. This is to afford the poor the happiness that comes with sallah when there is food and drinks to celebrate with.
After leaving the Eid ground, a gathering was held at the Palace, which was attended by the Chief Imam, the Alfas in the town, council of chiefs and other community members. They offered prayers for the peace, progress, and prosperity of Ifon and its inhabitants, reflecting the unity and harmony that exist between the Muslim community and the palace. The event showcased the inclusive and harmonious nature of Ifon's community, where people of different faiths come together to celebrate and support one another.
May Allah accept all our supplications during the month of Ramadan and our Eid prayer as acts of ibaadah. Taqoballahu minna wa minkum.
