Islamic movement under the aegis of Igbo Muslims Da’wah Group will on Friday, July 1,2022 launch the holy Qur’an translated to Igbo language.

The group led by Mal. Muhammed Muritala Chukwuemeka disclosed during a courtesy visit to Daily Trust head office in Abuja that the launch was part of the move to spread the message of Allah to Igbos through the translated version of the holy book.

Mal. Chukwuemeka, who hails from Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, described Islam as a religion of peace that forbids killings of fellow human beings.

He revealed that it took him five good years before completion of the translation.

The Imo-born cleric, however, called on well-meaning Nigerians to attend the launching which will take place immediately after Juma’at prayer at Ansar-ud-deen mosque located in Maitama, Abuja.

He also called on well-meaning Nigerians to support mass production of the holy book in order to spread Allah’s peaceful message to Igbos in the South East and other parts of Nigeria.

“It took me not less than five year before completing the translation. We are calling on well-to-do Nigerians to assist in mass production of the holy book. Presently, we have printed 500 copies and 100 copies have already been sent to the South East,” he said.
