Saturday at Osogbo Sports Stadium, Governor Rauf Aregbesola said Hijrah
is compulsory, bringing Muslims closer to what Allah has called them to
do on the use of Sun and the moon in counting days.
According to
Aregbesola on the celebration, tagged, ‘Building an ideal Islamic home”
Islam is not a religion of violence, but peace. Every Muslim must be

tarnish Islam. “There is no basis for anybody or groups to hide under
Islam to perpetrate evil.
