ABUJA NATIONAL MOSQUE TAFSIR: Key Lessons from the Day 11 Qur’anic Tafsir by Sheikh Professor Ibrahim Ahmad Maqari

Moral Responsibility, Justice and Unity

On Saturday, 28th February 2026, corresponding to the 11th day of Ramadan, 1447 AH, the Qur’anic Tafsir session was delivered by Imam Sheikh Professor Ibrahim Ahmad Maqari (H) at the National Mosque, Abuja. The session focused on verses (100, 101, 102 & 103) from Suratul An‘am. In his exposition, the Imam emphasized that religion is not inherited through biological lineage but rather earned and sustained through upright character, sincere faith, and righteous conduct. He explained that true religiosity is reflected in moral discipline, justice, and obedience to the commands of Allah, not merely by family background or social identity.

Addressing current global challenges, Professor Maqari provided a thoughtful analysis of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. He stressed that war is not to be welcomed in Islam; however, self-defense and retaliation are permitted when individuals or communities are unjustly attacked. He illustrated this principle using the example of victims of kidnapping, clarifying that resistance against oppression is legitimate. He cited a Prophetic teaching which states that if such victims resist and overcome their attackers, the aggressors bear the consequences of their crimes, while those who are killed in the course of lawful self-defense attain the reward of martyrdom and entry into Paradise.

The Imam further called on Muslims not merely to celebrate victories of Iran but to consistently pray for all oppressed nations in the Middle East suffering injustice, particularly under Zionist aggression. He expressed deep concern over the role of certain Arab states that provide intelligence and logistical support to oppressive forces, urging them to return to the path of unity and brotherhood. He underscored that the ongoing struggle represents a conflict between justice and injustice and that the Muslim Ummah must stand firmly on the side of justice.

In a passionate appeal, Sheikh Maqari urged Muslims worldwide—particularly those in Nigeria and Northern Nigeria—to strengthen their intentions, increase supplication, and place their trust solely in Almighty Allah. He warned that the challenges confronting the Muslim world are not distant realities but imminent concerns, requiring unity, vigilance, and collective responsibility.

Turning attention to the socio-political realities of Northern Nigeria, the Imam lamented the divisions fueled by political rivalry and personal interests. He called for reconciliation, urging leaders and communities to set aside past grievances and work collectively toward lasting solutions. He stressed the urgent need for a unified political and social agenda, not driven by personal ambition, but guided by the interests of the Ummah and the preservation of Islamic values.

Professor Maqari also appealed to political leaders to abandon hostility and prioritize economic development, social justice, and peaceful coexistence. He cited the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who upheld dignity, cooperation, and inclusive service in Madinah, even engaging non-Muslims in societal development, thereby emphasizing the importance of coexistence and mutual respect.

The Tafsir session concluded with heartfelt and comprehensive supplication for the peace, unity, guidance, and prosperity of the Muslim Ummah across the globe.

FROM ANGER TO ACTION: ISLAMIC GUIDANCE ON CONSTRUCTIVE PROTEST AND ACTIVISM

DAGA FUSHI ZUWA AIKI: KARANTARWAR MUSULUNCI KAN BORE DA TSARARREN AIKIN GYARA.

Given the upcoming protest organized by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on September 15, 2024, and considering the recent demonstrations that turned violent on August 10th in some Nigerian states, TERC is hosting this webinar.

Our aim is to promote a constructive and peaceful approach to expressing concerns regarding the new policies, which have caused significant hardship and financial strain on Nigerian citizens. We believe that by incorporating Islamic teachings, there will be a productive and positive outcome from the authorities without resorting to violence or disruption.
