Sultan asks Muslims to begin Ramadan fast Monday, confirms moon sighting
Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, on Sunday evening announced the sighting of the crescent moon, signalling the commencement of Ramadan fast.
The Sultan, who is also the president of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), said Monday would mark the beginning of Ramadan fast for Muslims in Nigeria.
“Today, Sunday, the 29th day of Sha’aban 1445 after the hijra which is equivalent to 10th March 2024, marks the end of Sha’aban 1445 after hijrah, with the reports of moon sightings that we have received from Muslim leaders and organisations across the country which we duly accepted,” he said.
“Consequently, tomorrow, Monday, 11th of March, 2024, becomes the first day of Ramadan 1445 after hijra.
“We therefore call on Muslims in the country to commence fasting accordingly.
“We call on all Muslims to use the glorious month of Ramadan to pray for the country.”
