Kano Declares Monday Public Holiday For New Year by DMainMan: 8:53am On Nov 04, 2013
Nigeria’s Kano State Government on
Saturday declared Monday as a public
holiday to commemorate new Islamic
year, 1435 A.H.(Muharram).

This is contained in a statement by the
Public Relations Officer in the Office of
the Head of Service, Alhaji Mustapha
Fagge in Kano.

According to the statement, the public
holiday is declared to allow workers to
commemorate the first day of the Islamic
year.

The statement advised the people to
observe the holiday by praying for peace
in the state and the country in general.
It also urged them to continue to live in
peace with one another so as to enhance
economic growth and development of the
state.

Celebrating the New Hijrah year is not a traditional Islamic thing.

The only.reason I would want it is if they cancel maulud nabiyy as a national holiday and replace it with hijrah.

HAPPY nEw yeAr anyways wink smiley smiley

Did you know that the cross river state government declared more days for new year than the federal government?


I am sure it was not a problem to you then.

Happy New Hijrah Year 1435!

May the Barakah, Rahmah & Sekinah of Allah that comes with the new year be with every muslim faithful.

May we stay stronger in His Deen and never stray.

May we be elevated to the ranks of the pious, here and in the hereafter.

Hijrah Mubarak!
