Sultan Of Sokoto Calls For Prayers Against Insecurity As Ramadan Begins Today

The Sultan of Sokoto and spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, Sa’ad Abubakar, has declared Monday, March 11, 2024, as the first day of the month of Ramadan.

The Sultan said the declaration was based on the sighting of the moon in almost every part of the country earlier on Sunday, “which is the 29th day of the Month of Shaban and thereby signifies tomorrow, 11th of March, as the first day of Ramadan 1445.”

“We got the information from Muslim leaders across the country and we accept the sighting of the moon accordingly,” the Sultan said.

He called on the entire Muslim community in the country to start fast today in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

He urged Muslims to use this month of Ramadan to pray against the spread of insecurity in the country.

He called on all Muslims to use the month of Ramadan to pray for the leaders to discharge their duties without fear of God.

He further advised all Muslims in the country and beyond to observe the fast with ultimate fear of God, while urging the wealthy to assist the underprivileged with food during the Holy month.

Arrant nonsense. When has prayers been the antidote to security? If prayer is what is needed, why do clerics, spiritual leaders, GOs etc go around with Gun wielding body guards, police and soldiers to protect them? And why didn't Israel fold their hands and pray for security?
It is time the likes of you stop leading our people astray and brainwashing them with false narrative.
Rather than pray, you should encourage the Govt to recruit and incentivise the military to step up their operations. Also to beef up military intelligence using state of the art technology.

Don't waste your time calling for prayers. Rather  call your insane people to order. God will not answer prayers coming from Sokoto. The state that lynched a Christian girl DEBORAH SAMUEL.
