Fawad Chaudhry launches 'Pakistan's first official' moonsighting website

[Pakistani Fighter]

Why you using internet or electricity. Find a cave to live in and shun all modern technologies if you want to go back 1400 years.


Just like most mullahs you are another hypocrite.

Then why there are imams for Azaan. From your logic, there should be recordings of Azan played at time of Namaz

Believe me I would be very happy if the only role of these bloody mullahs in society is to give Azaan and lead prayers. That's it.

These dogs have been given far too much importance just because they have a beard.

Biggest disaster.

This Fawad Ch babu has come across this idea recently. For decades Muslims have already been using scientific calculations to see if the moon could be sighted or not. These calculations have not replaced the actual sightings.

Here is a very well researched and in depth article stating the case for allowing plurality in the matter. Islam is open to differences of opinion founded in sound academic arguments based on Quran and sunnah.

All good
It all Pakistanis pray and celebrate Eid on a day not three in three days.

I guess they won’t need an alim to read their janaza when they die...just put a YouTube video on the scree

Dear this is the dilemma of our nation, even things like Azzan in newborn ear, Nikkah, bathing of dead body and Namaz-e-Janazah, everything we just passed to 'molvi sahib' because we are not inclined to learn even basics of religion. Believe me such basics are not a hardship or difficult to learn. Every Muslim could do it.

 

[YeBeWarned]

What will happen to that Puto Popalzai ?

 

[Cash GK]

Secularism has become legitimate with this government....the role of the ulema and shariat is being marginalised with this govt....Naya Pakistan.

I guess they won’t need an alim to read their janaza when they die...just put a YouTube video on the screen

Brother dont use laptop and mobile...it is science..we muslims invented many thing in muslims golden age..why eu us and China is ahead of us they changed themselves with time.we are living in old age..brother from pen to eye glass everything is science.budy arabs were best to travel in nights..why they were great in reading moon and stars...we have to move on..most import thing Islam allow us..Islam starts with iqra(read).I hope you will understand what are requirements of today's world with in limts of Islam

 

[I.R.A]

It is only the state of Pakistan who should be deciding when to start and when to end. There were no ulema mashaikh alamay zakir molvi during the times of Messenger and his successors.

Molvi hazrat should stop assuming jobs where they don't hold relevant expertise and knowledge, they have already created division on this moon fiasco of theirs.

Fawad Chaudhry launches 'Pakistan's first official' moonsighting website
May 26, 2019

A screengrab of Moon Sighting Pakistan, the website launched by Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday.

Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday launched what he termed as Pakistan's "first official" moonsighting website and a calendar showing main Islamic dates and months for the next five years based on scientific evidence.

The website, pakmoonsighting.pk, has been launched by Chaudhry's ministry "to halt the moon sighting controversy" that rears its head in the country every year prior to religious festivals.

Named Moon Sighting Pakistan, the website features sections such as a monthly Hijri (Islamic) calendar for the next five years, a day-to-day lunar calendar against dates from the Gregorian calendar, and the dates on which the first day of every lunar month will fall.

Also available are the scientifically determined dates for all major Islamic festivals/days for the ongoing and next years. Readers can access year-wise data about the New Crescent Moon, monthly moon visibility maps and monthly moon coordinates in major cities on the site as well.

Chaudhry had earlier this month announced that the lunar calendar being prepared by a scientific committee formed by the government and showing the exact dates of important Islamic occasions — Ramazan, Eidul Fitr, Eidul Azha, Muharram — would be finalised by the 15th of Ramazan.

He had said that a mobile phone app was also under preparation by the scientific committee after which people would also be able to sight moon on their smartphones.

On May 3, the minister had formed a committee of five experts from the ministry of science and technology, Meteorological Department and the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) to determine moonsighting for key Islamic dates and months scientifically, putting an end to the practice of looking for it physically through telescopes.

The National Assembly was informed recently that an amount of Rs3.06 million was spent last year on the sighting of the crescent for Muharram, Ramazan, Eidul Fitr and Eidul Azha.

Good move

Fazool admi, fazool website, fazool panga.

If we don't build websites relevant to our country others will do it for us. Then people like you will demand we censor those sites. Meanwhile the country will continue to remain backward.

He's basically replaced our expensive mullahs with a website. He's shown you that these bearded ones are redundant and of no use to anyone.
