'I am sharing some life reminders I learned from my late father, Abebakrin Lukman, which hopefully can add substance in your life.'
On June 21 we remember one of the strongest and most influential persons in our lives—our fathers. Before we knew the world and its rules, many of us first learned our father’s words, actions and standards.
For as long as we could remember, my younger brother and I saw our father perform the five daily prayers required in Islam. He also led the prayers so that we could emulate the proper way of doing them. He emphasized that our faith should be our top priority. It is important to have a father who exerts efforts to reinforce the interests of his child. The impact of a father’s support also determines the capability of his child to reach his or her greatest potential.Don’t miss breakfast“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
