Iftar & Islamic Enlightenment at CCUK | Strengthening Faith and Knowledge 🤍 Yesterday, the Capital City University Kano (CCUK) community gathered within the university premises for a spiritually uplifting Iftar, bringing together students and staff in an atmosphere of unity, reflection, and gratitude. The evening was further enriched by a dedicated Islamic session organized by our students to educate our dear sisters and the wider Muslim Ummah. The session reflected the students’ deep understanding of the virtues of the blessed month of Ramadan and provided insightful guidance on key jurisprudential rulings, including matters relating to women and menstruation in Islam during fasting. It was a moment of learning, clarity, and reaffirmation of authentic Islamic teachings. At CCUK, we remain committed not only to academic excellence but also to nurturing integrity, faith, and sound knowledge. May Allah (SWT) accept our fasting, prayers, and acts of worship.
