Eid-el-fitr 2018: Sultan Urges Muslims To Look For New Moon Thursday, June 14. by Lukgaf(m): 10:52am On Jun 13, 2018 |
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alh. Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, felicitates with the entire Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and all over the world on this year’s Ramadan Fast. The Council prays that Allah the Almighty accepts it from us as an act of Ibadah. Amin. Following the advice of the National Moon Sighting Committee (NMSC), the President-General enjoins the Nigerian Muslim Ummah to search for the crescent of Shawwal 1439 AH immediately after sunset on Thursday, 14th June, 2018 equivalent to 29th Ramadan 1439 AH. If the crescent is sighted by Muslims of impeccable character on the said evening, His Eminence would declare Friday, 15th June, 2018 as the first day of Shawwal and the day of ‘idul fitr. If, however, the crescent is not sighted that day, then, Saturday, 16th June, 2018 automatically becomes the first day of Shawwal, 1439 AH and the day of ‘idul fitr. Muslims all over the country are hereby enjoined to be on the lookout for the directive of His Eminence, the President-General of NSCIA, on the termination of this year’s Ramadan fast. In addition to established and traditional Islamic leaders in each locality, members of the National Moon Sighting Committee who can be contacted for information and clarification are: S/N NAME PHONE NO. 1 Sheikh Tahir Bauchi 08032103733 08033058201 Sayyadibashir26@yahoo.com Usmanusman9280@gmail.com 2 Sheikh Karibullah Kabara 08035537382 3 Mal.

Re: Eid-el-fitr 2018: Sultan Urges Muslims To Look For New Moon Thursday, June 14. by Nobody: 12:15pm On Jun 13, 2018 |
we count days of the month using moon,how a new moon will be very small and is better seen in the north due to there geographical location, new moon will continue to increase in size till it bcms full moon on day 15 of the month,after which it will begin to decrease in size again .A month is either 29 or 30 days, so if new moon is not sighted on day 29,we will automatically break fast on 30....this is an answer to those who say where did the moon go? 9 Likes |
