Muslims in Kaduna worship with christians in show of unity.

In an unprecedented show of love and
brotherliness, the Muslim community at
Barnawa, Kaduna metropolis, yesterday
worshiped with Christians at Living Faith
Foundation, Chapel of Grace, with a call
on Nigerians to love one another for
peaceful co-existence.
In his address, the Muslims, led by the
District Head, Alhaji Mohammed Kabir
Zubairu said that they decided to worship
with Christians so as to strengthen the
bond of unity among them.
While calling on the government to bring
an end to the persistent violence in some
parts of the country, Zubairu noted that
the church had donated Rams to his
palace during Sallah festivities, adding
that God created both Christianity and
Islam for peace, not violence.
He said: “In my district Barnawa, Muslims
and Christians are all living in peace as
one family. I am a Muslim, but I believe
Allah created Islam and Christianity for
peace, not for crisis. Attending a church
service today with some of my subjects
who are Christians has nothing to affect
my religion, but it will rather strengthen
unity among us.
“This church has been giving us the
biggest rams during Sallah festivities. I
and my cabinet members will continue to
preach peace. My district within Kaduna
metropolis is free of crisis; we are living
in peace with one another.”
In his response, Dr Peter Jiya, who is the
Resident Pastor of Living Faith
Foundation, said the church would
continue to co-habit peacefully with non-
Christians.
Jiya said “Living Faith Foundation believes
in peaceful co-existence. The situation in
the country calls for a lot of co-existence
among different religious groups.
“Today, the District Head of Barnawa
worshipped with us and we appreciate it.
We hope that the whole country will
emulate this gesture and by so doing,
many problems we are facing will be
solved by the grace of God.
