The National Council of Jumu’at Imams, led by its chairman, Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam, has declared its unwavering support for the Kano State Government’s initiative to profile non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam made this announcement while addressing journalists in Kano on Monday.

Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam is the chief Imam of Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Masjid located in Kofar Mata in the heart of Kano city.

“We are fully behind the Kano State Government on its stand in profiling NGOs,” Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam stated.

Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam emphasized the importance and significance of profiling NGOs, noting that certain NGOs’ activities conflict with the tradition, culture, and religion of the people of Kano. He explained that these activities sometimes negatively impact the social well-being of the Kano populace. “That is why we found it imperative and necessary to back the state government, especially the committee it sets up to profile the NGOs,” he said.

The chairman of the National Council of Jumu’at Imams urged the people of Kano and all well-meaning citizens to support the committee established by the state government to profile NGOs operating in Kano without proper introduction to the government and people of the state. “I am calling on the people of Kano and every well-meaning citizen to back the committee set up by the state government to profile the NGOs that come to Kano to carry out their activities without introducing themselves to the government and people of Kano State,” Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam urged.

Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam underscored that Islam has laid down conditions for how every association is supposed to operate. He quoted a verse from the Quran: “Waltaqun minkum ummatun yad’una ilal-khairi wa ya’muruna bil ma’rufi wa yanhauna ‘anil-munkar” (3:104), which means “You should be a community of people who advocate for the observance of good deeds and forbidding what is wrong.”

The Imam further cited a renowned cleric from Egypt, Sheikh Mutwallusshaarawi, who emphasized how NGOs should operate. He also quoted the late King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, who said, “We are not supposed to live in a country that we cannot protect.”

Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Adam concluded by stating that the Council of Jumu’at Imams is committed to actions that aid and benefit the religion of Islam. “This is the stand of the Council of Jumu’at Imams, and one of its primary responsibilities is seeing what is going to aid and benefit the religion of Islam,” he affirmed.
