[Musodiq Bello]

Assalaamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh,

Alhamdu lillah, another Ramadan is upon us again! We thank Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) for making it possible for us to witness the beginning of another noble month. We pray Allah to accept all our efforts during this month and make it easy for us to achieve His mercy and forgiveness during this month (aameen).

As you already know, our effort towards the completion of the OAU masjid continues this year and we pray that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) reward you as you join us to continue this noble effort.
