What is "Sanat"? It is not a place. I have been searching Islamic terms and the nearest comparison I have found is-
Sunnat or Mustahab means recommendable, desirable. The acts whose neglect is not punished, but whose performance is rewarded, e.g., the call for prayers (adhan).
Is sanat and sunnat the same thing in this case, a regional pronunciation or old spelling.
I can understand Al-Khartoum sunnat 1298, meaning -The Khartoum call to prayers 1881. Was this a festival held in Khartuoum or something more ambiguous? Or am I making it up as I go along?
