Sheikh Khalil added that apart from that a famous Singer called will come with his drums while work is going on ,he sings and people who engage in self help work are entertained to the highest.

Sheikh Khalil cited a tradition of the Prophet Of Islam Peace be upon him transmitted by Bukhari said when the Prophets Mosque is in the stage of building and a certain historical hole in Arabia called Alkhandaq was being dug people were entertained with songs.

But despite this Sheikh Khalil said Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam never sings but his companions have done so.

 

A Kano credible online Newspaper LABARAI24 reports that the well learned Sheikh advised that singing from time to time improved the level of one’s state of happiness and reinvent people’s thinking.

Therefore an individual should not prevent himself from listening to songs,and when people says song is prohibited in Islam ,it is that type of song that is replete with vulgar,insult and that also leads to corrupting people’s heart”said Sheikh Khalil

 

But for songs where the Prophet peace be upon him is praised is like a well talked manner ,and good words are good words whether its in songs or not.

Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil said songs can not be abhorred unless if its interwoven with abuse ,vulgar language,then it is that type of songs detest by Islam.

Therefore you should not deny your self listening to songs especially the famous Book of Ishriniya authored by Alfazazi because those types of songs are full with wisdom and knowledge.noted Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil.

Kano Government Denounces Misrepresentation of Appeal Court Ruling on Emirship Tussle

Published

on

The Kano State Government has condemned what it describes as “gross misrepresentations” surrounding the recent Court of Appeal ruling on the ongoing emirship dispute, urging the public to remain law-abiding while the case progresses to the Supreme Court.

In a joint press statement issued by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, and the Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Waiya, the state government clarified that the appellate court’s ruling did not invalidate its previous decision to repeal the Kano Emirate Council Law of 2019.

“It has become necessary to once again address you and the general public to correct the speculative reports emanating from some quarters, apparently intended to create disharmony among the citizens of Kano,” the statement read.

The government recalled that on January 10, 2025, the Court of Appeal upheld the repeal of the controversial 2019 law, which led to the reversion of the emirship structure to its previous status. However, it noted that Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan’Agundi, who is challenging the repeal, had filed an appeal at the Supreme Court and secured a stay of execution.

“The respected panel of justices heard and granted the application for a stay pending the hearing and determination of the appeal before the Supreme Court. This is a normal and routine judicial procedure to maintain the status quo,” the statement explained.

The Kano government expressed concern over what it termed misleading headlines and reports suggesting that the Court of Appeal had overturned its own ruling.

“It is worrisome seeing various captions and headlines deliberately intended to mislead the public by misrepresenting the facts. The judiciary, as a sacred institution, must be jealously respected and guarded for the preservation of peace and order in society,” the government asserted.

The officials further clarified that the Court of Appeal had not reversed its January 10 ruling but had only granted a temporary stay of execution pending the Supreme Court’s final decision.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Court of Appeal that entertained the application of Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan’Agundi did not set aside its own judgment delivered on January 10, 2025. That judgment remains valid and subsisting until the Supreme Court determines the appeal,” the statement emphasized.

The government urged Kano residents to disregard any provocations and continue to uphold peace, assuring them that legal experts were reviewing the court’s ruling to determine the state’s next course of action.

“We call on the general public to resist any provocation and continue to be law-abiding. The Kano State Government has already instructed its lawyers to closely study the outcome to determine the next line of action in accordance with our extant laws,” the statement concluded.

The ongoing legal battle over the emirship structure in Kano has sparked significant political and public interest, with both supporters and opponents closely watching the case as it progresses to the Supreme Court.
