Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 14th Emir of Kano, emphasized that greed, selfishness, and envy are “much greater sins” than unlawful sexual behavior, homosexuality, and gambling. Speaking during a virtual Ramadan lecture titled “Some Dimensions of the Concept of Ibadah,” Sanusi highlighted the importance of inner righteousness over outward observance of religious rituals.<\/p>\n
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) expressed concern about social disorder in the country, attributing it to the lack of Islamic principles guiding people’s actions. He criticized the hypocrisy of some Muslim leaders who profess religious piety but engage in corrupt practices.<\/p>\n
Sanusi pointed out instances of governors in Sharia-implementing states embezzling public funds to purchase assets, such as a hotel in Lagos, while neglecting essential services like education and healthcare in their states. He emphasized that leaders must be accountable for their actions before God and condemned the prevalence of greed and wickedness in society.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, Emir Sanusi urged Muslims to prioritize the purity of their hearts and intentions, as the sins of the heart hold greater significance than external acts. He called for a return to true Islamic values and ethical conduct to address social injustices and promote a more righteous society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
