Thank you very much for this valuable education.

May Allah make it easy for His servants to be righteous during these ten days, and beyond.

The system is such that, there is nothing bad about irregularities. However, the fraudulent accounts will eventually be audited & sanctioned accordingly by incorruptible Auditor General. Only d wise will understand. Naija Cabals ride on

Haba! That was outrageous

No permanent friend and enemy in politics. Only interest is permanent.

Obviously, there is only permanent interest as far as POLITICS is concerned.

May his sins be forgiven, and his soul be granted eternal peace.

May Allah sustain our honour, forgive our sins, purify our hearts, elevate our spirit, accept our ibad'ah, and invoke His "Kun Fa Yakunn" on our dua now and always ameen
. JUMA'AT KAREEM!

olafunny: Well, me i decided to take 3 days rest after ramadan and start 2moro. Hop no prblm wit dat? Nd is it a must dat i do d fastin within 6days? I mean can i do 1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1

It is not a must to observe it within 6 days. It may be observed consecutively or intermittently. May Allah make it easy & accept it as an act of Iba'dah ameen.

Prophet (SAW) said; he who observe fast throughout Ramadhan and then follow it up with six days fast of Shawal, is as if he has observed fast throughout the year. We are therefore, enjoined to observe Shitta Shawal before the end of Sharu Shawal.


The first day of Shawwāl is Eid al-Fitr. Some Muslims observe six days of fasting during Shawwāl beginning the day after Eid ul-Fitr since fasting is prohibited on this day. These six days of fasting together with the Ramadan fasts, are equivalent to fasting all year round. The reasoning behind this tradition is that a good deed in Islam is rewarded 10 times, hence fasting 30 days during Ramadan and 6 days during Shawwāl is equivalent to fasting the whole year in terms of reward

Hmn! The era of sincerity lingers on. Hmn! The era of sincerity lingers on.

Alhamdulillah. This year's Ramadan is completed today. Tomorrow is Sallah. May the Almighty God bring peace, blessing and enablement to observe many more of it ameen. Happy Eid-l-Fitir!

Has any formal announcement been made in this respect?

The movers & shakers of Nigerian economy.

They ask you about the crescents. Say: they are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in the affairs of men and for pilgrimage (Q. al-Baqarah, 2:189)
Abdullah bin Umar narrates that Allah’s Messenger once mentioned Ramadan and said: Do not begin the fast until you sight the moon, and do not break the fast (at the end of Ramadan) until you see it. If the new moon is concealed from you, then work out when it should be (TMH Al-Muwatta, 18. 1. 1)
While thanking Allah (SWT), the Praiseworthy, Who has made us to witness and experience the holy month of fasting, Ramadan, for the year 1435 A.H. / 2014 C.E., the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) felicitates with Muslims all over the world and in Nigeria in particular, on the successful attainment of the last part of the blessed month.
The Council also sincerely apologises to the Muslim ummah in Nigeria for the unusual confusion and miscommunication that trailed the commencement of the holy month. Despite all the efforts made towards avoiding such a confusion, complete success was not attained. The appropriate lessons have however been learnt.
It is in this respect that the NSCIA wishes to remind all Muslims who know, and notify those who do not, that there is an established structure for moon-sighting in Nigeria. Due to its significance and technicalities, the Council has a National Moonsighting Committee under the leadership of an expert. The Committee is equipped with necessary equipment and technological gadgets that are relevant to the discharge of its assignment.
The membership of the Committee is drawn from various segments of the Nigerian Muslim Ummah, including:

However, membership of the Committee is not exclusive to the above-listed personalities. The NSCIA expects people with requisite technical and demonstrable knowledge of moon-sighting to indicate their interests to the Secretary General, NSCIA. It is also helpful for such persons to list their areas of expertise. We intend to have an expert in each of the Senatorial Zone of the Country.
The National Moonsighting Committee will advise the President-General of the NSCIA (The Sultan)through the Secretary-General, on the commencement and conclusion of Ramadan or sighting of Ramadan and Shawwal crescents.
When a Muslim sights a new moon, (s)he should call any member of the Committee close to him, who will ask him a series pertinent questions These may include i). time the moon was sighted, ii). Position of the crescent relative to where the Sun sets iii) Altitude of the crescent above the horizon, iv) Orientation of the crescent, v) Condition of the sky at the time of the sighting (e,g, clear, cloudy, rainy). Our brothers and sisters in Islam are urged to direct their observations, notices and enquiries on the crescent to members of the National Moonsighting Committee.
It is on the backdrop of the foregoing that the NSCIA announces that in line with the Qur'anic verse and the tradition of the Prophet (SAW) cited above, as Ramadan draws to its close, any information on sighting the crescent (of Shawwal) should be conveyed to the National Moonsighting Committee so that the President-General of the NSCIA, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, may pronounce the end of fasting.
IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT THAT THE OLD (Ramadan) moon will set just before sunset in Nigeria on Saturday, 26 th of July 2014. The new astronomic moon would be born few minutes before midnight of that Saturday. CONSEQUENTLY, THE SEARCH FOR SHAWWAL MOON IS ON SUNDAY 27th of JULY 2014. It can be sighted in Nigeria on SUNDAY with optical instruments or with some difficulties with naked eyes. Any claim of sighting a moon that is yet to be born is not only false, mistaken or impossible but also ridiculous.
Once again, the NSCIA congratulates the Muslim Ummah on the auspicious period of Ramadan and wishes all Nigerians happy ‘Idul Fitr in advance. Many happy returns of the holy month!
“Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, help us against those who stand against faith” (Q. Al-Baqarah, 2:286).

Secretary-General, NSCIA

Congratulations sir! May your reign as COMACE ushers the nation & the entire road users a crashes free road.

Your problem is solved, because you know the solution already. However, all you need to do is to be tactical & determined to apply what is required of you to be properly grounded & educated on the tenets of Islam. So, you merely need to attend an Islamic school so as to be educated & acquainted with the principles, teachings & ethics of Islam. May we all be rightly guided amin.

Alhamdulillahi Rabili Alamin.

This is a good & cheering news.

May Allah forgive his sins & shower mercy on his soul.

Alhamdulillahi Rabili Alamin.

Jazakallahu khair!
May we be rightly guided to acquire this piety to avail us the eternal prosperity ameen.
Ramadan Mubaraq.

Money is good. But, the source and application are the indicators.

Asallamu aleikum wa rahmatullah. I have been on NL since 2012, but my former account was somehow deactivated. However, I re-joined last year December. So, I'm happy to know of this platform too. Though, I have been posting on ''Islam for Muslims'' since. I am Moshood by name.

Reported by Abu Hurairah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), "The supplication of every one of you will be granted if he does not get impatient and say (for example): `I supplicated my Rubb but my prayer has not been granted'.'' [Bukhari & Muslim] Be patient with Allah, for He will grant us our prayers at the time that is the best for us.

May the good Lord be pleased with you for this priceless post.
Indeed, it will go a long way to enhance family life's affections and compassions, as well as bringing peace, love and trust back to the couples who have been on the part of pathology.

I dey laugh.
In fact, you have been sinning since. And not until you repent, you may not earn forgiveness of God, and that of your respective partners.
There is fire on the mountain.
I guess you are the type that, prone to extreme jealous, if you discover your partner is doing same.
