Worshippers, who did not wear facemasks were on Friday prevented from entering the Jos Central Mosque to observe their Jumma’at prayers, Daily Trust reports.
FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
Our correspondent reports that worshippers who wore facemasks were allowed entrance into the mosque but those without the facemasks observed their prayers outside the mosque.
Our correspondent observed that there was proper social distancing among worshippers during the prayer session.
Earlier on Thursday, the mosque issued guidelines on how Friday service would be conducted, including the use of facemasks by all worshippers who must pray inside the Mosque.
Daily Trust reports that the Jumma’at prayer is the first since April when the state government closed down all worship centres across the state.
