Editor in chief
By Dr. Abba Umar, Former Commissioner of Health and Former Political Icon in Jigawa State
In a world plagued by discord and division, the importance of reconciliation cannot be overstated. As Allah the Almighty reminds us in the Quran, “So fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers” (Quran 8:1). This divine injunction underscores the significance of mending relationships and fostering unity among believers.
The Prophet’s Emphasis on Reconciliation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) further emphasized the importance of reconciliation in his sayings. As recorded in Al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet said, “Administering justice between two men is also a sadaqa.” This highlights the value of resolving disputes and promoting justice as a means of earning spiritual reward.
Reconciliation as a Branch of Faith
Reconciling people is not only a noble act but also a branch of faith. By eliminating grudges, purifying hearts, and extinguishing the flames of fitnah (discord), we can create a more harmonious and cohesive community. As Allah says in the Quran, “No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people” (Quran 4:114).
A Call for Unity in Jigawa State
As we reflect on the importance of reconciliation, it is imperative to consider the current political landscape in Jigawa State. The ongoing tensions between Governor Umar Namadi FCA and former Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, now Minister of Defense, highlight the need for reconciliation and unity. As leaders, it is their responsibility to put aside differences and work towards the betterment of the state.
In conclusion, reconciliation is a noble moral imperative that can bring people together and foster a sense of community. As Dr. Abba Umar, I urge the people of Jigawa State to heed the call for unity and reconciliation. Let us work towards building bridges, rather than walls, and strive for a brighter future for all.
