Following the confirmation of the lunar moon of Ramadan, which was earlier sighted by trusted Islamic leaders in various parts of the country, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Sa’ad III, has directed Muslims across the country to commence the fasting month of Ramadan today (Tuesday).
Specifically, the Sultan, urged Muslims to devote the season of Ramadan to pray for political stability and economic challenges in the nation.
The monarch equally sought prayers for the country to overcome the prevailing security challenges and guide the political leaders to lead justly.
Advising wealthy individuals to constantly show mercy to the less-privileged in the society, he admonished the Muslim faithful to adhere to COVID-19 protocols across the worship centres during the holy month.
