The leadership of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State University (MSSN LASU) branch on Wednesday kick started the 34th Edition of its Annual Jihad Week.

The Amir of the student-organization, Mahfuz Alabidun, addressed a press conference to mark the beginning of the 12 days long programme.

Alabidun made it clear that the main focus of the Jihad Week is to propagate Islam on campus and change the contradictory negative belief that Jihad means fighting.

He then announced that the theme for this year’s edition, ‘The Key’, was made out of the need to make students understand that faith in Allah is the only key to paradise.

He said: “Islam as a religion has provided guidelines and proffered solutions to problems Muslims may likely face.

“It is on this pretext that we narrowed down our understanding to the attainment of Paradise. In order to attain or reach certain goals, there are certain things that must be done and all these are locked and unlocked by Keys.

“The Key to paradise is found in the declaration that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messanger of Allah.

“The testimony of faith is the key to paradise, but every key must have ridges which match the lock on the door or else it will not open. Likewise, the testimony of faith has certain conditions which must be met in order to lead us to paradise.”

The Jihad Week is to house series of programmes which include a special Jummah service, Amir’s Challenge, Lectures, Faculties Symposia, external campus tour, excursion among others.

The formal opening event to come up on Sunday will witness dignitaries like Mallam Sanusi Lafiagi; Hon. Sanai Agunbiade, Majority Leader Lagos State House of Assembly; and Prof Olanrewaju Abdulhakeem Adigun Fagbohun, Vice Chancellor Lagos State University among others in attendance.
