Thus, this paper aims at examining the challenges of 'lkhtilaf on moon sighting among the Nigerian Muslims and thereafter offering the resolution towards it within the framework of Shari'ah. As introductory discourse, the paper looks at intra-religious 'Ikhtilaf among the earlier generation of Muslims and its impact on their unity and brother-hood.
