Islamic Jubilee: Christians Ask for a Holiday
A group of Christian priests in Kaduna state welcomed the adherents of the Islamic religion throughout the nation as they prepared to usher in the new Islamic year in the month of Al-Muharram, which is considered to be the year's last month.
They also gave them advice on how to pray for harmony and peace more actively.
Farmers in the state, particularly in the Bauchi emirate, are having difficulty getting enough rain, which raises the possibility that they won't get the monsoon that their farms require during this rainy season, according to LEADERSHIP Hausa.
When a group of young Muslims paid Yohanna Buru a visit at his residence in Kaduna's Sabon Tasha neighbourhood, Yohanna delivered the word of the Christian professors.
In order to maintain the peace in the state and to establish the friendships between the young adherents of the two religions, the young people paid him this visit.
Her visit falls on the same day as International Friendship Day, which is typically observed on July 30 every year.
Buru urged the federal government to make the Islamic New Year's Day a national holiday for Muslims so that they may celebrate, particularly since other states in the nation have already done so for the Muslims living in their jurisdictions.
But he bemoaned the fact that this nation's Muslims would begin the month of Muharram at the same time that the cost of products would rise.
During the celebration of the Islamic New Year, he urged Muslims to provide food for the vulnerable, orphans, and widows.
He delivered the speech during Pastor John Joseph's visit as well, emphasising the value of national harmony.
Additionally, he urged both young and old adherents of both religions to refrain from expressing animosity and adopt a desire for peace among themselves.
The leader of the Muslim youth organisation in the state, Mallam Gambo Abdullahi Barnawa, on the other hand, praised the Christian instructors for wishing the Muslims a happy new year and wished for greater harmony between the two faiths in Nigeria.
