Ramadan Tafsir: CIIN Harps On Good Family Values
The Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) had once again demonstrated its commitments to raising balanced professionals, who should display professionalism at home and the work place.
To ensure Insurance professionals display professionalism across board, the Institute in its 2022 Ramadan Tafsir focused on the topic: Nurturing the Soul of a Family: A Panacea to Societal Ills and Youth Restiveness’, which helped to elucidated the roles of parents in building a good family, which help to form the society.
According to the report by Inspenonline, President of CIIN, Sir. (Dr.) Muftau Oyegunle, said the Tafsir was derived from the Arabic word FASARA which literally means to lift the curtain, to make clear, to show the objective, stressing that by analogy Tafsir is the body of knowledge which aims to make clear the true meaning of Quran, its injunctions and the occasion of its revelations.
“I will like to remind us that we are in a season where we reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with the Islam faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. It is also a time of intense devotion to ALLAH.
“With these reasons, I urge us all here today to continue to use the Holy month of Ramadhan to stay close to Allah by seeking for forgiveness of our sins, praying for our Country, family and humanity in general,” he said.
He submitted that the topic was very apt and very timely considering a lot of societal issues we are encountering today.
To address this menace, he said it should start from the family as it is said “Charity begins at home”, adding that very one present at the event was first primarily influenced and shaped into characters from the family they were born into and we take such features into the society. So, I will say again that the family plays a very significant role in having a peaceful society.
The guest speaker, Imam Ridwan Jamiu, the Chief Imam, Lekki Central Mosque, was spot on as he underscored the need for a good family, so as to have good society.
He expressed misgivings over the ills in the society, attributing them to the family and stressef that the insecurity, corruption and other societal maladies are reflections of the family, which make up the society.
“Once the land is bad, the yield would be bad,” he submitted.
He implored parents to always think of the legacies they would leave behind and what they would be remembered for.
Imam Ridwan Jamiu, urged people to marry partners their children should be proud to call father or mother, whilst charging them to look out for partners that are morally upright.
