The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has announced that Sunday, July 11, will be the first day of Dhul-Hijja 1442AH.

This was contained in a statement on Sunday signed by Prof. Sambo Junaidu, Chairman, Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs, Sultanate Council, Sokoto.

“The Sultanate Council Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs in Conjunction with the National Moon Sighting Committee on Saturday received reports on the sighting of the crescent of Dhul-Hijja 1442AH.

“The Sultan accepted the report and accordingly declared Sunday, July 11, as the first day of Dhul-Hijja 1442AH,” it read in part.

Dhul-Hijja is the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims perform the Ḥajj (Holy Pilgrimage) as well as observe the Festival of Sacrifice.

Nigerian Muslims will now observe the 2021 Eid-el-Kabir on Tuesday, July 20, which is equivalent to 10th of Dhul-Hijja 1442AH.

This people are really drawing us back FGS


How many celebrations can one people have in a year. And all the time it's not straight forward like Christian or Pagan celebrations.

Nigeria needs to scrap Independence day and Democracy day. We have enough holidays, and we don't even have any reason to be jolly.

Where was the moon hiding during the fast

National Moon Sighting Committee on Saturday received reports on the sighting of the crescent of Dhul-Hijja 1442AH.

And MURIC with all his caliphate wannabe antics was not privilege to be part of this committee to do the moon sighting?

what do you mean by islamophobia?

Muslims are slaughtered in their thousands in the north

Infact just like covid 19 updates we now have bandit update on numbers killed everyday in the north

So sultan should actually be using these dates for sober reflection not merriment when you put into consideration that Boko Haram Iswap ultimately are an Islamic movement with their bandit counterpart who are mostly muslims

Its Bidia to ignore the classical method of declaration.
You can check it on your Google Calendar, but its the responsibility of the sultan to announce it. Let Order have sway.
