…1447 AH (2026) EID-EL-FITR FELICITATION TO THE NIGERIAN MUSLIM UMMAH
The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) felicitates with the Nigerian Muslim Ummah and by extension the world, on the successful completion of the 1447 AH (2026) Ramadan fast and the observance of the Eid-el-Fitr.
The JNI made the call in a statement Signed by Prof. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu
Secretary-General, JNI, that made available to news men revealed that
“May the occurrence be a time for deeper reflections of our actions and prays for stability, peace, joy and blessings to all Muslims, as well as our loved ones. May Allah, the Most High, accept all our fasting and overlook our shortcomings therein. May Allah, as well accept our respective supplications and good deeds during the Ramadan, and may He continue to shower His grace upon us in the days and months ahead. Amin”, the statement added.
.We must always bear in mind that the Lord of Ramadan, is still and shall remain the Lord of all other months. Therefore, we must be very conscious of Him at all times and remain committed to good virtues, for He stated in the Glorious Qur’an that “And worship your Lord, until comes to you the certainty (death). Qur’an 15:99.
Nigerian Muslims are urged not to forget Sittah-Shawwal, i.e the six-days recommended fasting by the Prophet (SAW), which follows the Ramadan Fast. In line with our earlier calls, we reiterate our call to the Muslim faithful to intensify prayers for self and the Ummah against all manners of misfortunes and seek Allah’s relief, particularly that the 2027 General Elections is fast approaching. Hence, we use this medium to call on all stakeholders to be introspective and work assiduously towards credible, free, fair and transparent elections, for a stable Nigeria in 2027.
“A stable Nigeria must first exist before it is governed.
Likewise, the Sultan of Sokoto calls on world leaders to, in the name of Allah, the Most High, de-escalate the Iran – USA/Israel war and all other similar conflicts across the globe, for the sake of world peace, stability, and security. Historically, wars have no good omen; it remains more of a destructive tool that affects negatively human capital index. More so, if allowed to fester, it will significantly affect the world food chain and generally the economy, leading to impoverishment, which will invariably be too dangerous to countries like Nigeria, because of our fragility”.
Again, the Sultan wishes the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and beyond prosperous and peaceful Sallah celebrations. Lastly, the Sultan wishes all Muslim faithful an accepted Ramadan Fast and hitch-free Eid-el-Fitr felicitation.
Eidukum Mubarak!
