Why should the Sultan automatically becomes the head of Muslims in Nigeria when there are other groups that can also vie for it. Yoruba Muslims need to rise up and challenge this aberration. Sultan doesn't have a direct communication to Allah so others should aspire for the head of Muslim body 76 Likes 8 Shares |

Because in Islam, a movement without a leader is one of hypocrites. Everyone is tasked with sighting the moon. But the leader okays it provided the person who sighted it can be trusted. The month is used to count daYs and a new moon signifies a new month. The Sultan as the leader then gives a go ahead. If he doesn't, Fasting can't commence. 24 Likes |

Please, if for the sake of wanting to know genuinely, no wahala but, it's better u mind your business if otherwise. Sultan holds d post of the Islamic leader, The Imam of the Muslim community in Nigeria. Therefore, to make sure every Muslim commences fasting on d same day, he has been given the authority to announce. Please note that, he doesn't determine when fasting starts, he is just to declare the commencement. Any one could sight the moon and announce. That's why some numbers were given to call if anyone sights the moon. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Get it right. Sultan is not bringing forth the moon. Many times South West muslims followed not annoucement of Sultan on Ramadan. If his annoucement is not with Sunnah we will not follow him. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Kathmandu: Nobody force the Yorubas to obey Sultan. They can as well elect their own. This is not about Yoruba or Hausa. The sokoto caliphate is based on inheritance. A person from Bauchi or Zamfara cannot head it. Islam is not about quota system or national cake. If you want a Yoruba man to head it then create Southwest Sultanate period or give him one Yoruba lady to marry so that his child my be potential Sultan. Not everything is about tribalism. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Kathmandu: Kathmandu: Did you ever bother asking, Why is Saudi Arabia the pilgrimage place for all muslims in the world? Why is pope in the vatican the head /leader of the church world over? why is the queen of england from that particular home /why wont other homes in the uk vie for the throne? Simple all these are rooted in history and if you are lazy not to go research it dont expect someone to come and give you a summary that you might not believe if you do the research yourself its easier for you to get convinced And yes you need to be a muslim to comment on Islamic thread becos there are some simple islamic rules that you are expected to know. And you will be contributing in a position of an insider. Who gave US, Russia, france, japan , Uk, china, veto power and words law the world over? Islam cmae to nigeria through the north. Irrefutable fact Christianity came to nigeria through the south. Undisputed. The sultanate house is the household of descendant of usman dan fodio . All the yoruba ruling class have a ruling house, can you even as a yoruba vie for that stool? Is it because you are not yoruba enough? 32 Likes 2 Shares |

naijasucks: Point of correction; He is not declaring fasting for all muslims. He is simply making the declaration to have uniformity among all muslims in nigeria. Islam has 12 lunar month just as the gregorian calendar 1 muharram 2 safr 3 Rabiul awwal 4 Rabiuthani 5 jimad ula 6 jimada thani 7 Rajab 8 sha'aban 9 Ramadan 10 shawwal 11 Zul -kida 12 Zul-hajj Each of this month is made up of 29 or 30 days. Hence when you are making intention for the commencement of ramadan you intend it to be 29 or 30 . You cant make 28 fasting neither can you have 31. Moreover, if there is no common declarer of when it start and when it stops then how would gov't then would gov't then decide when the public holiday is going to be? Furthermore wether the sultan declare the commencement of fastimg or not if you follow islamic calender very well then you are likely to know exactly when the month is starting and when its likely to end and as a muslim wether the sultan declare itor not its bounding on you to commence fasting 6 Likes 1 Share |
