His Eminence Sheikh Abdallah Ibrahim Ssemambo Tamusuza, the Deputy Mufti of Uganda has emphasized the sanctity of human life, stating that it is sacred from its conception until the time of death. He was representing His Eminence Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda, at the burial of Haj Ahmad Kiggundu Luswa, one of the leaders of Anwar Mosque in Kisembi village, Nkumba Kafulu, Katabi Town Council in Entebbe, Wakiso District on Tuesday.
The late Mr. Kiggundu, who was laid to rest at their ancestral grounds in Kazinga village, Kakajjo zone, Kyengera Town Council in Wakiso District, succumbed to injuries he sustained in a scuffle at the Mosque on Monday evening.
This unfortunate incident stemmed from a misunderstanding resulting from the efforts to streamline the activities of the mosque with well-elaborated leadership systems based on the UMSC Constitution. According to Kiggundu’s close associate, Umar Wanji, who operates a primary school adjacent to the Mosque, the deceased was assaulted with a metallic object following a heated exchange of words shortly after observing Isha prayers on Monday night.
In his condolence message, Sheikh Ssemambo condemned the killing of a fellow human being for material gains and called upon the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that those involved face justice. He concluded by urging the Muslim faithful to always use peaceful means to resolve disputes within their community. In attendance were Sheikh Imran Ssali, the UMSC Secretary for Religious Affairs, and Sheikh Farouq Ssendijja, the Kadhi of Entebbe Muslim District, along with other Muslim leaders from the UMSC lower structure. The deceased is survived by wives and children.
