FELICITATION AND MOONSIGHTING FOR RAMADAN 1444 A.H.

Date: 27th Sha’aban, 1444 AH

20th March, 2023

The month of Ramadan (is that) in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind
and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).
So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. present at his home), he must observe fasting that month”… (Q. Al-Baqarah 2:185)

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 on the auspicious occasion of the forthcoming 1444 A.H. Ramadan fasting exercise. Council prays that may Allah spare the life of every Muslim to witness, participate fully in and benefit maximally from the noble act of worship (ibaadah).

Consequent upon the advice of the National Moon-Sighting Committee (NMSC), the President-General enjoins the Nigerian Muslim Ummah to search for the crescent of Ramadan 1444 A.H. immediately after sunset on
Wednesday, 29th Sha’aban, 1444 A.H. which is equivalent to 22nd
March, 2022.

If the crescent is sighted by Muslims of impeccable character on the said evening, then His Eminence shall declare Thursday, 23rd March, 2023 as the first day of Ramadan 1444 A.H. If, however, the crescent is not sighted that day, then, Friday, 24th March, 2023 shall automatically become the first day of Ramadan.

In addition to the established and traditional Islamic leaders in each locality, the following members of the National Moon-Sighting Committee (NMSC) can be contacted to report any credible and positive sighting of the crescent of Ramadan 1444 AH:

Council enjoins all Muslims to be more prayerful unto Allah,
especially in the month of Ramadan; that He should grant us peace, stability,
unity and progress in Nigeria.

Furthermore, Council urges Muslim politicians to display the
spirit of brotherhood and solidarity both of which represent some of the core
lessons of Ramadan. Let those who emerged victorious in the just concluded
elections remember that it is the Almighty Allah Who grants power to whom He wishes.
Also, those who lost should accept same with faith and resist any act that may
cause disaffection and disunity within the Ummah.

Council also appeals to endowed Muslims in the country to
extend their acts of charity to the less privileged within their neighbourhoods
before, during and after the month of Ramadan. We also admonish traders not to hoard
food products or unduly hike the prices of consumer goods during the period of
fasting.

Council
hereby enjoins Muslims all over the country to be on the lookout, on the night
of Wednesday, 22nd of March 2023, for the announcement by His
Eminence, the President-General of NSCIA, of the commencement of the year 1444
A.H. Ramadan fast. 

We
wish all Nigerian Muslims and their counterparts all over the world happy
Ramadan in advance.

Allahuma Baligna Ramadan!

Signed.

Usman-Ugwu

Director of Administration
