Chennai: The Prince of Arcot, Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali has appealed to Muslims to bear in mind the disaster which has struck the world and has affected humanity greatly.
“We know that our nation is also not safe from it and Covid-19 is spreading here rapidly. In such a case, we have to follow precautionary and safety measures issued by the Central and State governments. It is most important that we should know that during the spreading of the coronavirus, remaining at one’s home is the only weapon which will eradicate this virus, by the will of Almighty Allah, between us and from our country and prevent disaster causing diseases from spreading,” he said in a statement.
He requested Muslims to spend the entire one month of Ramadan at home, including five time prayers and the breaking of fast (Iftar), as well as ‘Taraweeh’ prayer (optional) at night, even if the lockdown is lifted, on 3 May.
“Our Holy Prophet (pbuh), has commanded us to protect ourselves from such spreading of virus and to make our home, as mosque. This would help not only the Muslim community, but also the entire society in general”, he said.
