Eid is on Saturday. Moon not sighted

[CriticalThought]

You have poor choice of words to express your frustration. Work on it.

Sincere advise from El Sidd.

Hypocritical Glory seeker who knows no shame. After failing to comprehend plain English, and use correct punctuation, you know try to give advice on choice of words.

This is why I originally advised you to stick with trolling.

RIP indeed. Because telecommunications is so great, why don't we also offer 5 times prayers at the same time around the world?

Common sense, indeed!

Those are based on each county - for our ease...Imagine you having to pray at 12 midnight forever just coz you want to follow a certain country...But unity on Eid which is 1 day is a poor comparison!!

As long as they did the moonsighting according to sunnah, that is all that matters. My eid is Friday, eid mubarak to everyone who is celebrating whichever day.



Brother that is incorrect. If you look at the graphics on moonsighting.com it is not possible to see the moon in your part of the world.

According to the sunnah, 30 days must be completed. Other countries follow the sunnah slightly differently, they accept a global sighting, there is nothing wrong in that either, its a different interpretation with different justifications.

Just because there is no ijma on the matter, doesn't mean one has to be wrong.

The controversy comes in where we question the credibility of people who claim to have sighted the moon. This happens regularly in Pakistan and to reject someone's sighting regularly is to question thier credibility. In this instance, the hilal Committee should go with the people who have a track record for this and try to see the moon alongside them.

That's exactly what i'm saying we have 2 Islamic systems in the world. One followed in Pakistan & Iran and other in rest of the world.

Next time go for Hajj on Camel /horse back because it's Sunna, Give our soldiers swords and take away guns.
Man we in Pakistan have taken Sunna to whole new level.
Sunna is to learn Arabic, how many of us learn Arabic? Still we are not going to hell because we didn't learned Arabic.... in similar way, if we celebrate Eid with rest of the world.. it will be good with Allah.

Difference between people in Islam is permitted and is a fundamental part of the deen for as long as Islam has existed.

The shafis perform Asar before the hanafi. The salafi open thier fast slightly earlier than the hanafis, the Shia open it moments later than the sunnis. You can work out nisab for zakat on the value of gold or silver. You are permitted to read 8 tarawi or 20. These are all valid and tolerated differences. The different moon sighting techniques are the same.

It's okay to understand moonsighting in different ways as long as thier is evidence to support it. This is not strange in Islam.

Why we don't have all those tribes you mentioned in rest of the world?

Brother they do exist in the rest of the world. They're not tribes, they're valid sunni schools of thought. You can read more extensively about them here.

They are not rivals to on another, they're all recognised as correct by sunnis. Different muslims in different parts of the world follow different schools of fiqh.
