Bwebajja, Entebbe: The Senior Presidential Advisor and Manager of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, has urged Ugandan youth to uphold Islamic values and moral discipline as a guiding principle in their daily lives.
Namyalo, popularly known as Chief Muzzukulu, made the remarks on Saturday while gracing the colourful Kukyala and Nikah ceremony of Ms Rehema Nakimbugwe and her groom, Mr Shafiq Mukasa, held at the family residence of the bride’s father, prominent businessman Hajji Umar Kasana, in Bwebajja, Entebbe.
Hajjat Namyalo congratulated the couple upon formalising their union and encouraged them to make Allah the cornerstone of their marriage. “Let Allah be the foundation of your marriage,” she advised. “Pray together, grow together, and let His guidance lead you through every season.”
She urged the newlyweds to cultivate patience, mutual respect, and understanding, saying these virtues are essential for sustaining a peaceful and lasting relationship. “You will face challenges as every couple does, but remember these trials are part of Allah’s plan to strengthen your bond. Always return to the Qur’an and Hadith for guidance,” she added.
Turning to the guests, particularly the youth, Hajjat Namyalo appealed for a renewed commitment to Islamic values, responsibility, and integrity.
“As we celebrate love and unity with this lovely couple today, let us also reflect on our own journeys. Islamic discipline is not only for special occasions but a daily guide for how we treat one another, build families, and serve our communities,” she said.
The event was also attended by Hajjat Fatuma Katongole, the Assistant Resident City Commissioner (RCC) for Kampala, who commended the couple for formalizing their union according to Islamic principles. She emphasized that strong marriages rooted in faith form the foundation of a peaceful and progressive community.
“My daughter, learn to trust your husband and make him your best friend,” Hajjat Fatuma counseled the bride. “Trust grows through honesty, communication, and shared prayer. Be patient, be a good listener, and be a source of peace in your home.”
The ceremony, marked by joyful ululations, vibrant traditional performances, and heartfelt blessings from family elders and religious leaders, was a celebration of faith, love, and unity.
Hajjat Namyalo’s attendance added a distinguished touch to the ceremony, solidifying her continued efforts to promote family values, faith-based discipline, and community transformation under the ONC.
