SOKOT0: How Islamic New Year's Day Was Conducted

On Wednesday, July 19, 2023, the first month of Muharram in the Islamic year Hijrah 1445 will begin, according to a statement made by the President of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Nigeria, Emir of Islam Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar.​​​​​​

The Islamic year, which runs from Muharram to Zulhijja, has twelve months, just like the Christian calendar.

Islamic organisations and academics make a commitment every year to educate the public about its impacts and the necessity for Muslims to use it responsibly.

According to a VOA research in Sokoto, the populace disregards and improperly utilises the Islamic year.

Although some Muslims pay little attention to the Islamic calendar, academics maintain that it is particularly useful for Muslims.

All Islamic activities and other social contacts, according to Dr. Ibrahim Liman Sifawa, an Islamic educator in Nigeria, depend on the Islamic calendar.

Muhammad Lawal Maidoki, a prominent member of the groups working to address Islamic issues in Nigeria, advised the populace to reawaken and resume using the Islamic calendar's day-counting system.

Scholars advise Muslims to reflect on their past actions in order to strengthen their will to carry out good activities and refrain from engaging in bad deeds now that the Islamic year 1444 AH has ended and the year 1445 AH has begun.
