HAPPY ÌṢẸ̀ṢE DAY 2024: A CELEBRATION OF HARMONY, BALANCE, AND UNITY.

By; Mary Odunayo

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day is a significant cultural event celebrated by the Yoruba people, honouring the principles of harmony, balance, and unity. As a Muslim, recognising and appreciating the cultural heritage of others is essential, and Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day offers valuable lessons that align with Islamic values.

The Significance of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba people. Its teachings resonate deeply with the values of compassion, empathy, and unity at Islam’s heart.

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is a guiding philosophy that promotes:

• Diversity and inclusivity: Embracing differences and promoting unity, reflecting Islamic teachings on respecting humanity’s diversity.
• Compassion and empathy: Treating others with kindness, mirroring Allah’s (SWT) commands on mercy and forgiveness.
• Inner peace and outer harmony: Striving for balance within oneself and in relationships, echoing Islamic values on seeking peace and tranquillity.
• Unity and cooperation: Fostering solidarity, reminiscent of the Islamic emphasis on unity within the ummah.

A Call to Unity

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day serves as a powerful reminder of the need to come together, celebrate our shared values and build bridges between communities.

The Power of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe

The Yoruba belief “Orí Ẹni Ni Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Ẹni” highlights the power of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe as the power of life, resonating with the Islamic concept of Tawhid, the oneness of Allah (SWT).
