By Ibrahim Abdul’Aziz, Regional Correspondent

Nigeria’s Muslim spiritual leader, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has requested Muslim Ummah to start to look for the new moon of Rabi’ al-Thani 1442AH from Sunday.

“This is to inform the Muslim Ummah that Sunday, Nov. 15, which is equivalent to 29th day of Rabi’ al-awwal 1442AH, shall be the day to look for the new moon of Rabi’ al-Thani 1442AH.

“Muslims are, therefore, requested to start looking for the new moon on Sunday and report its sighting to the nearest district or Village Head for onward communication to the Sultan,’’ Junaidu said.

The Sultan prayed to Allah to help Muslims in the discharge of their religious duties.

Rabi’ al-Thani is the 4th month in the Islamic calendar after the birth month of Prophet Muhammad.
