The Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has released the names and telephone numbers of members of its moon sighting committee across Nigeria.

Members of that committee are to be contacted if the new moon of “Shawwal” is sighted, according to Islamic tradition.

NSCIA, in a statement Saturday, said if the new moon is not sighted anywhere, Nigerians are expected to fast a complete 30 days and Sallah would be celebrated on Monday, June 26, 2017.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Knowing The 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers Time Table

As Day 2 of Ramadan fasting for this year has been completed today, Ramadan Daily Digest will briefly look at the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers time table in the month of Ramadan.

Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
