According to Table 1, Regardless how they decided, most mosques in this survey offered eid prayers on Tuesday. Allah Hafiz, Mahmood Sabri. Apparently, no one in favor of the method of moon sighting, is proactive to commend on the survey report. Two thirds of the communities decided to celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr on Tuesday, the 30th August by the method of calculation.
It does not mean that they were correct to make the decision absolutely. Allah knows the best. Islam does not go with popularity. The prophet pbuh used to see the moon locally and never supported any astronomical calculation regarding this. Creating a calendar by calculation, and follow it firmly without moonsighting, is a deviation from the path of the Prophet pbuh. It is done so for worldly matters. The number of the followers of the Prophet pbuh was very low at the beginning, it increased to a large number, and again will fall to a minimum before the day of judgment.
Out of 73 sects of muslims, only one will be successful. So, let us try to be within the one of seventy thirds. May Allah accept it. Assalam Alaikum, Br. Anwarul One brotherly advice to you and all the readers.. At the time of our Prophet pbuh there were no skyrises and no pollution, and it was easy to do moon sighting. Also it was not easy to communicate with the broader communities in other regions.
Now the world has shrunk to a single community. You can reach out to your family across the globe in seconds. Could you even imagine that in those early times? I am not saying that we should not follow moon-sighting. Islam is a broad minded religion and Allah swt wants us to be broad minded people. Be open to new ideas, and use logical reasoning within the boundaries of Islam to understand the given situations. Assalamu Alykoum, How dare you use a clock to calculate the Asar salat time when we have clear hadith that we are supposed to pray when the shadow is X times the length of an object?
You also use pre-calculated times for the entire year without checking the shadows, even for your own location. Did you forget how the Ulemas opposed the clock unanimously when it was first used to calculate prayer times? Now we are all sold out! Assalam o alaikum, This was our first Eid in USA but can u imagine my surprise when both the mosques of same area Carrollton announced Eid on separate dates.
As br. Calculation methods did exist in the times of Prophet Muhammad PBUH yet he insisted on seeing the moon with naked eye so why not today? That was my personal opinion based on my limited knowledge, i am not trying to question your judgement.
In response to brother Syed,IA, November 8, I was surprised to see such a harsh language in an open forum. This also reflects that neither you have a knowledge nor understanding. All the Islamic calendar calculating prayer times are usually done using modern techniques available including all the various Islamic method of calculating prayer times.
It is up to you, which method or Fiqh you like to calculate. Sighting is related to fitness of eyes, cloud, dust, etc and above all the timing of sunset and moon position. Moon birth is far ahead of possible moon sighting, because, approximately 8 hours has to be elapsed for visualizing. Moon sighting is the Islamic way of starting the Islamic month, which is required for Ramadan fasting etc. So, finding the right time or day is also Ibadah.
Regarding Ibadah, the Prophet S was the best in mankind. No one can exceed him. Any deviation in any aspect of Ibadah is Bidah. So, any method other than moonsighting to start the month of Ramadan etc. So, this method is logically inappropriate. Scientific reason for not to follow Calculated Moon Birth: Say, the new moon is born at 10 pm GMT on 7th of July it will not be seen anywhere before about 8 hours is elapsed.
The first day of Islamic month will be declared to be on 8th of July. The people of Tokey will not get chance to eat Suhoor, and pray salah in the night before. So, their month will start on 9th of July.
So, this method is scientifically inappropriate. Regarding the use of clock for prayer times, actually we are not following clock times. Our office follows a clock time, e. The trains follow certain clock times. But, the prayer times does not go with certain fixed clock times. It varies with the change of sunrise and sunset. If the asr time today is , tomorrow it is Rather, we are using clock as a tool to find the prayer times which are related to sunrise and sunset.
As muslim it is fard upon us to know how to calculate prayer times from sunrise and sunset. If all the clocks go wrong today, we will be able to pray salah at its almost correct time. Email required.
