CRESCENT SIGHTING REMINDER FOR DHUL HIJJAH 1447! The conjunction of Dhul Hijjah 1447 crescent (New Moon) will occur InshaAllah on ( Saturday 16th May 2026) at 9:01pm inshaAllah . Sighting the new crescent on (Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May) is shown in the graphs below using the program Accurate Times by Mohammad Odeh according to Odeh criterion.. Where:- It is impossible to see the crescent from the areas located under red color because either the Moon on this day sets before the Sunset or conjunction occurs after Sunset. The crescent is expected to be seen by optical aid only from the areas located under the blue color. The crescent is expected to be seen by optical aid from areas located under magenta color. In these areas the crescent could be seen by naked eye if the atmospheric conditions are superb and the observer is experienced. The crescent is expected to be easily visible by naked eye from areas located under green color. The crescent cannot be seen from uncolored areas, even though it sets in these locations after Sunset and the conjunction occurs before Sunset, cos it’s not sufficiently illuminated. Searching for the new Moon is an ACT OF IBADAH and a means of EARNING REWARD from Allah inshaAllah . It is the SUNNAH of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ). The Sunnah is ‘sighting’ and not mere knowledge of the moon’s existence above the horizon. Allahu a’alaam!!! @moonsightingng

@KDSG and UNICEF have organised strategic deliberations to reclassify the salaries of teachers and healthcare workers from recurrent expenditure to capital expenditure. ​This pioneering fiscal shift, discussed during a one-day stakeholders’ dialogue in Kaduna.

As usual, I believe some people have cleaned their camera lenses, eagerly waiting to capture images of the moon tonight and perhaps begin their usual remarks about this moon not being a first crescent. Unfortunately, I have bad news: the crescent will still not be visible to the naked eye this evening in Nigeria bi izinillah . This is because the moon's age will be just over 16 hours, and a crescent is typically easily visible with the naked eye when it reaches 18 hours or more. Additionally, the moon’s illumination will be less than 0.5%. Even in Niger Republic and Mali, where sightings of the crescent were claimed yesterday, it will not be visible today. The crescent should be easily visible to the naked eye tomorrow, Friday, In shaa Allah because it will be about 40hrs old by sunset in Nigeria . Allah has made it possible for us to understand the movements of the sun and moon, as evidenced by many verses in the Quran. Allah stated in the Quran: Surah Ar-Rahman (55:5) states: "The sun and the moon move along their computed courses" (or follow a precise calculation). This verse highlights the perfect, ordained, and punctual motion of the celestial bodies as a sign of Allah’s mercy, power, and precise design in the universe, emphasizing order, consistency, and divine regulation. Allahu a’alaam!!!

@Sean_ADFIntl The narrative is fulse, twisted and and mislead! The Christian of the southern (Christian dominated area) part has the liberty of traveling to the northern part peacefully. If something happens to them a long the way, the northerners give them hand without demanding anything...

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! 🙏 The President today has heard the cries of thousands & millions of persecuted Christians in Nigeria 🇳🇬 & around the world & taken action. We WILL turn the tide against persecution globally. We 🇺🇸 WILL stand strongly for people of faith everywhere.

Sheikh Bashir bin Ahmed Siddiq, one of the senior teachers of the Holy Qur’an and its recitations at Al-Masjid An-Nabawi passed away today Sheikh Bashir dedicated nearly six decades of his life to serving the Qur’an in the Prophet’s Mosque, where countless students studied under him. Among his most distinguished students were: •Sheikh Muhammad Ayyoub & Sheikh Ali Jaber – former Imams of the Two Holy Mosques, may Allah have mercy upon them •Sheikh Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Al-Shanqiti, Member of the Council of Senior Scholars •Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim & Sheikh Salah Al-Budair, current Imams of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi The late Sheikh was regarded as a cornerstone in Qur’anic education at the Prophet’s Mosque, leaving behind a legacy of knowledge and students who continue to serve the Qur’an across the Muslim world. May Allah the Almighty grant Sheikh Bashir bin Ahmed Siddiq His mercy, accept his decades of service to the Holy Qur’an, and elevate his rank among the righteous. انا لله وانا اليه راجعون
