Oluwo of Iwo Kingdom, HRM, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi extolled the virtues of Sheikh Mustapha Sunusi Zughool, urging modern day Muslim scholars to emulate his scholarship.
The revered monarch was the chairman of the 4th edition of Sheikh Zuglool Annual Lecture held on Saturday at Daru Da’wah wal-Irshad institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Isolo, Lagos State.
The Oluwo, who has at different fora preached against idol-worshipping in Yorubaland, urged the people to shun idolatry, saying it is a strange religion in Yorubaland.
According to him, “Islam is the foundation. The first man Allah created (Prophet Adam) was a Muslim. He was never an idol worshipper. Our origin as Yorubas is linked to him (Prophet Adam). Idol-worshipping is alien to us. A time will come in Yorubaland when idolatry practices would no longer be fashionable.
“A lot of Yoruba monarchs are now disassociating themselves from idolatry practices. Islam, which is the religion of monotheism and belief in Allah is the only acceptable religion to our Creator. I therefore urge our people to stop popularising idolatry practices.”
