The occasion marked the celebration of the birth day of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Prominent Islamic clerics offered prayers at the compound for enhanced security, peace, and tranquility in Zazzau Emirate, Kaduna State, and Nigeria as a whole.
Abu Ladan, the first Sarkin Ladanai who taught Islamic education in the school founded by his Kanuri father when he went on pilgrimage by foot he returned with some books.
These Islamic books were read in the house every 12th of Rabi’ul Awwal as part of commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
These include offering salutations upon the prophet and supplications for peace, prosperity and the progress of the people of Zazzau.
Since that time up to the present, the recitation and prayers for the Prophet’s birthday have continued in the house of Sarkin Ladanai.
Emir’s of Zazzau, from that era to now, have continued to attend the annual gathering.
