Nigeria Supreme Council For Islamic Affairs, NSCIA has sent its condolence to the family of late islamic scholar, Hajiya Aisha Bridget Lemu.
According to the letter signed by NSCIA Secretary-General, Prof.Is-haq O. Oloyede,and addressed to the deceased husband, Sheikh Ahmed Lemu, NSCIA expressed shock over the news of the death of Hajiya Aisha Bridget Lemu who was described in the letter as an accomplished Islamic writer, educator and leader.
NSCIA also stated that the death of Hajia Aisha Lemu was not only a loss to Sheikh Ahmad Lemu and family,but a calamity to the Nigerian Muslim Ummah, which has benefitted immensely from her intellectual, educational and organisational acumen in the last fifty years.
" It is an axiomatic fact that no Nigerian Muslim woman has contributed as much as she did to Islamic education and scholarship in our history.
It is in the light of the foregoing that we appeal to you as a man of faith and the pillar behind her achievements to take solace in the enduring legacies she left behind, though the vacuum remains. In essence, her ceaseless charity, the knowledge she imparted in millions of Nigerians through her books and publications as well as her righteous and prayerful children, who themselves are active daa’iah, would definitely be in her favour.". NSCIA urged.
NSCIA prayed that Allah forgive Hajiya Aisha Lemu sins, overlook her shortcomings, expand her grave, multiply her kind among the Muslims and admit her to Al-jannah Firdaws.
Hajia Aisha Bridget Lemu died on Saturday, Rabiul-Thani 28, 1440 (January 5, 2019).
