As the Ramadan season intensifies, the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Faith Society (NASFAT), Oke-Ogun 2 (Oyo Zone 2),held its second public lecture today, Sunday, March 1, 2026, at Ansarudeen High School,Saki. The event served as both a spiritual refresher and a strategic rallying cry for the organization’s ambitious educational infrastructure projects.
The proceedings opened with remarks from the Chairman of the Occasion, Alhaji Adeniran Adeyemi (popularly known as GASMA). Alhaji Adeyemi provided a historical roadmap of the association’s contributions to the region, most notably the establishment of the NASFAT Schools and College, Saki.
While celebrating these milestones, the Chairman made a passionate plea to stakeholders for “unwavering support and collaboration.” He emphasized that the completion of ongoing projects depends heavily on the collective willpower of the community to see the vision through.
The focal point of the afternoon was the keynote address delivered by renowned Islamic Scholar, Professor Lukman Alawiye, who spoke on the theme: “Family Harmony in Modern Times: Challenges and Islamic Remedies.”
Professor Alawiye delivered a sobering assessment of the contemporary family unit, noting that the “wide distance” now separating family members particularly within extended family networks which has eroded the virtues held dear in previous generations.
He cautioned that women who seek to dominate or “give commands” to their husbands may inadvertently hinder the future leadership prospects of their children.The Professor urged absolute equal treatment as a prerequisite for a peaceful household.
He explicitly challenged men to live with their wives, stressing that physical presence is non-negotiable for domestic stability. He also strongly appeal to children to prioritize the care of their aging parents, linking the quality of a society directly to the upbringing and values of its youth.
”A society is determined by how its children are trained; the family is the first school,” Alawiye remarked.
Alawiye turned his sights toward the future of NASFAT as an institution. Commending the association for its hallmarks of accountability and transparency, he challenged the leadership to transition from basic education to tertiary influence.He pointedly urged NASFAT to remain determined in the establishment of a university, arguing that the society’s growth must be matched by a commitment to high-level intellectual and spiritual development.
The lecture was well-attended by dignitaries including the Representatives of the Paramount Ruler of Saki, Oba Khalid Olabisi and the NASFAT faithful.
