Ahmed Musa’s may be away at the FIFA World Cup in Russia but that didn’t stop him and some Super Eagles officials from observing the Eid Mubarak.
Friday marked the end of the holy month of Ramadan, hence ushering the festive Eid celebration.
Musa, 25, a known devout Muslim, first sent out wishes to his friends and family before storming the Eid prayer ground in Kaliningrad.
The Leicester City forward was literally mobbed by co-wishers who also came for prayers.
Taqabballahu Minna wa Minkum.
May Allah (SWT) accept all our acts of worship, make us among the chosen forgiven servants and reward us with the best in this world and Jannat Al firdaus in the hereafter. Ameen. Eid Mubarak .🙏🙏🕋 pic.twitter.com/mUCm7Y1L5B— AhmedMusa718 (@Ahmedmusa718) June 15, 2018
