Ramadan Break and the Law

"According to Education Law that commenced 1st January 1964 and which still operates in all northern states except Kogi, the Governor may, among other powers, determine “holidays and the dates of opening and closing institutions”.

Therefore, what some northern states did regarding Ramadan break is therefore in order. " Aliyu Tilde

The Radiant Necklaces: Lessons of the Blessed Month of Ramadān Followed by Insights from the Sacred Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah | Shaykh Sa‘ad al-Khathlān, [may Allāh preserve him].

Lesson One: Welcoming the [Blessed] Month of Ramaḍān

Shaykh Sa‘ad al-Khathlān, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

All praise and thanks is due to Allāh, who has blessed us with the arrival of the sacred month of fasting. May peace and blessings be upon the best of creation, our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the finest of those who fasted and prayed, and upon his noble family and righteous companions.

A noble guest has arrived - the month of Ramaḍān, a season of immense spiritual opportunity and a time for trade with Allāh, the Almighty the Majestic through righteous deeds.

“The month of Ramaḍān in which the Qur’ān was revealed - a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.“¹

In this blessed month, good deeds are multiplied, ranks are elevated, sins are forgiven, and souls are liberated from the fire of Hell. Among the greatest blessings Allāh, the Almighty the Majestic bestows upon a servant is allowing them to witness this sacred time. Many have been deprived of this gift, their appointed time having ended, transitioning from the realm of action to the realm of recompense. How many, who fasted with us last year, are now laid to rest in their graves, bound by their deeds?

The Swift Passage of Time

O’ my beloved brothers, it was but yesterday that we welcomed Ramaḍān of the previous year. It came and swiftly departed, as do all our days and nights. Now, once again, we stand at the threshold of this sacred month. How swiftly time slips away! Life itself is fleeting; its moments pass like the wind, and soon, we will all pause to meet our Creator:

“O’ mankind! Indeed, you are laboring toward your Lord, laboring ever strenuously, until you meet Him.”²

Ramadān is a priceless opportunity for repentance, self-reflection, and preparation for the hereafter. It is a moment to amass the provisions of taqwā (God-consciousness), fortifying the soul with piety and reverence. A wise believer will organise their time in this month, ensuring that not a single day or night passes without accumulating deeds that will bring them joy when they stand before their Lord. Let one reflect: this may be the last Ramaḍān they ever witness.

A believer should also strive to lighten the burdens of worldly affairs, for the pursuits of this world are endless. Dedicate more time to worship, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He was the most generous of people, and in Ramaḍān, his generosity knew no bounds.

“The Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramaḍān.”³

A School of Spiritual Refinement

As this blessed month dawns upon us, my dear brother in faith, increase your devotion in worship, obedience, and righteous deeds, striving to emerge from Ramaḍān better than you entered it.

Ramaḍān is a training ground for the soul, a time for nurturing noble character, distancing oneself from sin, and purifying one’s heart. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Whoever does not abandon false speech and acting upon it, Allāh has no need for him to abandon his food and drink.“⁴

Falsehood encompasses sinful words, and acting upon it includes all manner of transgression. The essence of this hadith is that one who fails to uphold the etiquettes of fasting, engaging in sinful speech or actions, risks losing the spiritual reward of their fast. Though their obligation may be fulfilled, the essence of fasting is lost when one disrespects its sanctity.

A believer must observe the etiquettes of fasting, refraining from all acts of disobedience at all times, but especially while fasting. Ramaḍān is a time to discipline the soul, to cultivate righteousness and strengthen one's connection with Allāh.

It is also a month for self-reckoning, a time to reflect on one’s past, seek forgiveness, and strive for renewal. As Allāh, the Most High commands:

“O’ you who believe! Fear Allāh, and let every soul reflect upon what it has sent forth for tomorrow.”⁵

A Commitment to Excellence in Ramaḍān

Dear Muslim, as this sacred month begins, resolve firmly within yourself to increase in devotion. A decisive commitment aids in steadfastness upon righteousness, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate for “the resolve to remain upright.”

For example, make a firm intention:

To perform every Taraweeh prayer with the Imām throughout the month.

To complete the recitation of the Qur’ān once or multiple times.

With such planning and determination, as Ramaḍān departs, you will find yourself enriched with righteous deeds that will bring you joy when you stand before Allāh, the Almighty the Majestic.

It is also permissible and commendable to congratulate one another upon the arrival of Ramaḍān, for such greetings bring joy to the hearts of believers. Reaching this month is a a source of great joy, one that should be cherished and welcomed with gratitude.

Closing Supplication

O’ Allāh, grant us the ability to fast and stand in prayer in Ramaḍān in a manner that pleases You. Guide us to what You love and accept our deeds. May Your peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.

Kogi Free Trade Zone Takes Off with Major Chinese Investment

The Kogi State government has secured an agreement with the People’s Republic of China for the takeoff of the Kogi Hunan Special Economic Zone, with the status of a Free Trade Zone.

Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo disclosed this when he played host to a delegation of Chinese investors and consular officials led by the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Lagos, Ms. Yan Yuqing, at the Government House in Lokoja on Tuesday.

Governor Ododo assured the Chinese delegation that the Kogi State government and its private sector partners would ensure that all necessary infrastructure and regulatory frameworks are in place to guarantee the smooth takeoff and timely completion of the project.

"We are committed to making the Kogi Hunan Special Economic Zone a model of industrial and economic transformation. Everything required for the seamless execution of this project will be provided in collaboration with our private sector partners to ensure its success,” he said.

In her remark, the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Lagos, Ms. Yan Yuqing, announced that the Kogi Hunan Free Trade Zone is being spearheaded by the government of Hunan Province with the backing of the Chinese government.

She emphasized that Chinese investors in Nigeria have a responsibility to support and key into the project in line with the long-standing bilateral commitments between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the People’s Republic of China.

"The Kogi Hunan Free Trade Zone is a strategic initiative that reflects the deep economic and trade ties between China and Nigeria. Our investors are eager to explore and contribute to this partnership to drive sustainable development and industrial growth,” she said.

Earlier in his address, the Chief Economic Adviser to the Kogi State Government, Alhaji Inda Ali Salami, described the Kogi Hunan Free Trade Zone as an ambitious project that demands the full commitment of the state government and its private sector partners.

He assured the delegation that the state government team would leverage global best practices in free trade zone development to ensure the project's success.

The Kogi State Governor and members of the state’s economic team had earlier visited the Chinese Consular in Lagos to woo the Chinese government to support the project as a core investor in the Free Trade Zone, setting the stage for the landmark partnership between the Kogi State and the People’s Republic of China.

This strategic engagement has culminated in the formal agreement for the take off of Kogi Hunan Special Economic Zone, which will operate as a Free Trade Zone.

The Chinese delegation had earlier embarked on a tour of strategic infrastructure in Ajaokuta, where the Kogi Hunan Special Economic Zone will be situated on a 3000 hectares of land in the Ajaokuta economic development corridor.

The delegation inspected key locations, including the Ajaokuta train station, Geregu Power Station, and ongoing gas projects all vital for the smooth operation and development of the Kogi Hunan Free Trade Zone.
