Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria popularly known as NASFAT has banned all programmes marking the end of the year 2022 or the beginning of the year 2023 across all its branches. KnowIslam gathered the information from NASFAT’s press release. They wrote:
Date: December 27th, 2022
From: The Mission Board Secretariat
To: All NAṢFAT Missioners worldwide
Dear Imams,
As-Salām ‘Alaykum Waraḥmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
Prohibition of December 31st/January 1st Tahajjud/All Cross-Over Activities at NAṢFAT Locations Worldwide
This is to inform all NAṢFAT Missioners that programmes marking the end of the year 2022 or the beginning of the year 2023 are banned in all branches and groups of NAṢFAT.
Missioners who violate this order, by holding December 31st/January Tahajjud 1st or any Cross-over programme in their branches or groups will be subjected to stringent punitive measures.
In the meantime, Missioners are urged to educate their members that holding special prayers or Tahajjud to mark the end or beginning of the year has no place in our religion.
True Muslims do not need to wait for the year to end or start before asking Allah for His mercy, protection and blessings. True Muslims are in touch with Allah at all times.
We are a Muslim Society. Therefore, we must at all times keep strictly to our Islamic identity. Any attempt to compromise our Islamic identity or portray us as a society imitating non-Muslims, by any member of the Mission Board will be met with serious consequences.
We will be in touch with our informants across branches and groups to obtain information on possible breaches of this order.
Thank you.
Abdul-Ganiyy Raji
National Da’wah Officer/Mission Board Secretary
