The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged Muslims in Nigeria to begin Ramadan fast on Tuesday, following the sighting of the new moon in many places across the country.
According to the monarch, reports on the new crescent had been received and authenticated by the moon sighting committee.
He, however, called on Muslims to start fasting, urging them to dedicate themselves to the worship of Allah throughout the fasting period.
He also urged them to seek Allah’s intervention in the security situation in the country and COVID-19 pandemic.
The Sultan urged Muslims to observe COVID-19 protocols in Mosques and during preaches.
