Chief Imaam Of Ilaro
Sheikh Muhammad Tajudeen Mustapha-Adewunmi is the Chief Imaam of Ilaro Central Mosque and doubles as Secretary-General, League of Imams and Alfas, Ogun State - the cleric with whom late iconic actor Alhaji Hassan Taiwo (Ogogo) reportedly kept N25 million for mosque or family house renovation. Upon the actor's death, the Chief Imam disclosed the money to the family and made a complete refund on demand.
What an exemplary Imaam: when some have traded their heaven for wealth, Ilaro Chief Imaam traded his earthly comfort for Paradise. He did the same when, as Amirul Hajj leading Ogun State pilgrims to Mecca, he returned an unspent balance to the state government. Would you and I have returned such an amount?
He often preaches obedience to parents and elders, compassion for people with disabilities, religious tolerance and harmony, sustaining piety after Ramadan, and supporting the less-privileged - widely respected in Ilaro and across Ogun State for his scholarship and community leadership.
A true ambassador of Islam who embodies the Uswatun Hassanah of the Prophet (SAW). Let's celebrate him.
