Sultan Urges Muslims to Scout for Ramadan Moon

Sokoto’s Sultan, Muhammad Saad Abubakar, has issued a clarion call to the Muslim populace across the nation, urging them to embark on the vigilant quest for the elusive crescent marking the advent of RAMADAN 1445 AH. This rallying cry was sounded today, on Sunday the 10th of March 2024, coinciding with the Islamic Calendar’s 29th of Shaaban 1445 AH.

According to a statement released by Prof. Sambo Wali Junaidu, the esteemed chairman of the Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs at the Sultanate Council of Sokoto, the sighting of this celestial phenomenon carries immense significance. Upon its detection, swift action is imperative, as the information must be expeditiously relayed to the nearest district or village head for transmission to the Sultan himself.

To facilitate this crucial communication process, a network of dedicated telephone lines has been established, ensuring seamless reporting of any new moon sightings to the hallowed precincts of the Sultan’s palace. The contact numbers for this vital mission are as follows:

– 08037157100
– 07067416900
– 08066303077

As the countdown to Ramadan begins, the Muslim community is poised to heed the Sultan’s impassioned plea, mobilizing their collective efforts to witness the celestial harbinger of this sacred month.
