Speaking in a press release by the Secretary General of JNI, Dr Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, the Sultan urged Nigerians Muslims to watch out for the night of majesty (Lailatul Quadri) which is reported to be benefi cial than 1,000 nights or 83 years and is believed to appear on odd Ramadan nights. “JNI, once again felicitates with the Nigerian Muslim Ummah, for the successful commencement of Ramadan Fast on 27 May, 2017, this is indeed gratifying especially that Allah (SWT) made the commencement devoid of any disagreement, Alhamdulillah for His bounty. “Considering that the search for the most blessed night (Laylatul Qadr); the night of decree and honour had began, which is sought in the odd nights i.e. 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th of Ramadan,

Nigerian Muslims are called upon to maximally put to use these very last days by reciting more of the Glorious Qur’an. “More importantly, we should watch out for the Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) which often comes up in one of the fi ve exceptional nights, according to authentic Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We must use the avenue in increased rendition of the Qur’an not only in understanding it better, but in living in accordance to its teachings. For in the Glorious Qur’an we fi nd total salvation and other good virtues needed for the existence of Man. “Whilst wishing all Muslim faithful Allah’s pardon in these sacred days and after, we pray fervently for His benevolent acceptance of our Ramadan Fast, even as we urge all Muslims never to return to abominable acts after the Ramadan Fast. Once again, we say Ramadan Mubarak and happy Eid-el Fitri advance
