A group of Muslims from the south-eastern part of the country has launched the Holy Qur’an translated into Igbo language.
The launch took place on Friday immediately after Juma’at prayer at Ansar-ud-deen mosque located in Maitama, Abuja.
Representatives of the group, under the aegis of Igbo Muslims Da’wah Group, said the mission was to spread Allah’s message to the Igbos through the translated Qur’an.
The man behind the translation, Mallam Muhammed Muritala Chukwuemeka, a native of Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, said it took him five years to complete the translation
He also called on Nigerians to support the mass production of the holy book in order to spread Allah’s peaceful message to the Igbos in the south-east and other parts of Nigeria.
“It took me not less than five years 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
