Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation is currently observing its annual ‘zikr’ prayer session at the Nassarawa mini palace.
The annual zikr is a prayer session for the country which is usually conducted at every last week of the Islamic calendar.
The prayer session seeks divine intervention for peace and prosperity for the country under the Supreme Council of the Tijjaniyya movement in Nigeria led by Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi.
Sayyadi Ibrahim Dahiru Usman Bauchi is the representative of the leader of the Tijjaniyya movement in Nigeria.
Daily Trust reports that Friday ‘dhikr’ is one of the ‘dhikr’ observed by Tijjaniyya adherents every Friday after asr prayers to maghrib prayers.
It was gathered that in Kano, the Supreme leader, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, met the 13th Emir of Kano, the late Alhaji Ado Bayero, advised and sought his approval for the Friday dhikr to pray for peace and stability of the country every Muharram – the first month in the Islamic calendar.
The deceased monarch had informed other Tijjaniyya clerics and since then, it has served as an annual reunion period to strengthen the unity of Muslims.
Since then, Muslim communities worldwide have converged on Kano annually to observe Friday dhikr with the emir.
Personalities that graced the prayer session include those from Sokoto, Nguru in Yobe State, Bauchi, Zaria, Kebbi, and Gombe among others.
Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, hosted the visitors:
