Sultanate Council Calls on Muslims to Sight New Moon of Sha’aban

-
Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar
The Sultanate Council of Sokoto has urged Muslims across Nigeria to look out for the new moon of Sha’aban 1446 AH on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, corresponding to the 29th of Rajab 1446 AH in the Islamic calendar.
In a statement signed by Prof. Sambo Junaidu, Waziri of Sokoto and Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs, the council instructed Muslims to report moon sightings to their nearest District or Village Head, who will forward the information to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, for official confirmation.
The sighting of the Sha’aban moon is a key Islamic tradition, as it marks the month preceding Ramadan, aiding Muslims in their preparations for the holy month of fasting.
The statement concluded with a prayer: “May Allah (SWT) help us in the discharge of this religious duty. Amen.”
This announcement underscores the Sultanate Council’s role in guiding the Muslim Ummah on moon sighting and other religious observances. Muslims are encouraged to stay informed through their local leaders and official announcements.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
