An Islamic Scholar urges Muslims to cultivate the habit of reading

Sunyani(B/A), March 04, GNA – Sheikh Ishaak Nuamah, an Islamic Scholar
has called on Muslims to cultivate the habit of reading and writing to
contribute and succeed in the competitive, challenging and
knowledge-based world.
He said since the art of reading and writing was at the heart of
human civilization, it was imperative for Muslims to invest their
resources in lucrative rather than unproductive ventures to improve
their living standards.Sheikh Nuamah made the call at the launching of
two new books he authored in Sunyani at the weekend.The books were,
"Living Islam" and "The Road to Success".
Living Islam outlines the five main principles of Islam
including, the faith that Allah is one and Mohammed as the last
Prophet, reciting the five daily prayers, how to fast in the month of
Ramadan, observing Zakat or giving charity to God and lawful income to
undertake pilgrimage to Mecca.The Road to Success teaches how a Muslim
could overcome problems in the society to succeed in life.Sheikh
Nuamah, said an individual's success depended on the effective and
efficient utilisation of time to take advantage of developments in the
world.
Dr Alhassan Mahama, Sunyani Municipal Veterinary Officer,
launching the books, commended the author for the books that would
serve as a referral and research material for the youth and future
generation.He called on Muslim youth to let the books become a source
of inspiration for them to achieve greater laurels in their
endeavours.Alhaji Dr Muhammed Bin Ibrahim, Brong-Ahafo Regional
Director of Health Services, appealed to Muslims to let their lives
and marriages be a reflection of their relationship with Allah to
change the negative perceptions people had about Muslims.Sheikh Nuamah
has authored eight books since 2004.
