THE Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has implored the Nigerian Muslim ummah to continue to promote peaceful coexistence and unity among all the citizens of the country.
The NSCIA, under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, made the plea in a statement wherein it informed the Nigerian Muslims of what it called the proven sighting of the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah 1441 AH in Nigeria on Tuesday, 21 July, 2020 and the Sultan’s approval of Wednesday, 22 July, 2020 as the first day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1441 AH.
In the statement, signed by its deputy secretary-general, Professor Salisu Shehu, the council also called on the ummah to rededicate themselves to the worship of Allah with full devotion and to intensify prayer for the eradication of coronavirus and all other challenges facing the country such as insurgency, banditry and rape.
“While wishing the ummah happy Eid-il-Adha in advance, the Council prays that Allah spare our lives to witness it and many more.
“The Council also prays that Allah accept all our supplications, worship and sacrifices in the month of Dhul-Hijjah and beyond. Amin,” the statement added.
