Ramadan: Watch out for Night of Majesty, Sultan tells Muslims

Kaduna —The Sultan of Sokoto who is also
President-General, Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI),
Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Sa’ad 111, has urged
Muslims in the country to watch out for the Night
of Majesty as the month of Ramadan entered the
20th day on Tuesday.
“Taking into cognizance the importance of the
last ten days of Ramadan, Nigerian Muslims are
called upon to maximally put to use these last
ten days in reciting more of the Glorious Qur’an,
being punctual in observing the daily obligatory
prayers in congregation,’’ the Sultan said
yesterday in a statement by the JNI Secretary-
General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu.
The statement also urged Muslims to intensify
their acts of generosity in giving alms to the poor,
the needy, the orphans and the handicapped in
the society, especially as many families currently
live from hand to mouth.
The statement read: “Tuesday, July 7, 2015,
marked the twentieth day of Ramadan. The night
witnessed the beginning for the search of the
most blessed night, the night of decree and
honour which is sought in the odd nights, 21st,
23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th of Ramadan.
“More importantly, Muslims should watch out for
Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) which often
comes up in one of the five exceptional nights,
according to authentic Ahadith of Prophet
Muhammad.
“We, however, use this medium to once again
condemn in the strongest terms the recent attack
unleashed on innocent civil servants undergoing
screening at the Sabon Gari local government
secretariat, Zaria in Kaduna State.”
