General’s wife donates mosque to Ansar-ud-deen society

One of the wives of the late Major General Abdullahi Muraina, Hajia Nanaa Usiagu-Muraina has donated a mosque to Ansar-ud-deen society in memory of her husband.

Speaking at inauguration of the mosque in Abuja, the society’s National Deputy President, Alhaji Ibrahim Adebayo Yusuf, said the gesture will attract blessings to the deceased, his wife, his family and worshippers.

Yusuf said it is significant in Islam that whosoever comes to worship there, whatever prayer, goes to the man (her late husband).

Chief Imam of Ansar-ud-deen in Abuja, Associate Prof Musa Olaofe, said the idea of the mosque started after General Muraina died and the wife asked what can she do for Allah to reward her husband, so she looked around and decided to build a mosque in his name.

He said when he was contacted by Hajia Muraina that she was going to build a mosque, he told her it was the best thing to do.

“When I was contacted, I told her it is the best thing to do, and she single-handedly built the mosque”, he said.
