The Moon Has Been Sighted

[baby_muslimah15]

As-salaamu Alaikum. :love:

For those of you who do not no or may already no(this is just a reminder)...The moon has been sighted Masha'Allah, so we pray Taraweeh prayer tonight and fast 2morrow I found out through my friend who is Over Seas....So Insha'Allah may our fast be accepted and may it increase us in our deen ;)

Walaikum Salaam :love:

We live in America. So, our Ramadan starts on Wednesday. I don't think it is permissible for us to follow Saudi Arabia's moon sighting when we have our own moon sighting.

Think of it this way. 700 years ago, did people in Canada look at their moon or did they send boats to Saudi asking them when they do their Ramadan?

Look at your own moon.

[baby_muslimah15]

No everybody said the moon has been sighted.......If you dont think so then ok....... But i'm just telling people what I heard ok........*pe@ce*

i live in UK and my mosque has said they could not sight the moon and it could not be seen in the UK horizon
so that means we fast tomorrow
wasalam

[Umm Yoosuf]

Really wat part of the Uk do you live? Here in london we are fasting....

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
i live in south london in croydon
wasalam

[Umm Yoosuf]

Thats unbelieverable! How comes? I don't understand!

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
our imam, he said two days ago as a warning that we will follow the hadith and not Saudi so when yesterday came he said you could not see the moon on the UK horizon and that means fasting is on wednesday
and boy did that create chaoes, everyone started shouting as to why he always has different opinions to others because last eid there was a debate as he said it was on a friday and everyone did eid on thursday, and it turned out that our imam was right and eid was really on thursday
he said the most mosques in UK are fasting today because the imams were overpowered by their own community
wasalam

[Umm Yoosuf]

I see.

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
then after that sheikh qasim comes in and explains to the mosque about the reasons to fasting on wednesday, and there was no shouting at him because he was the previous imam for many years at our mosque and people respect him a lot. they knew he was a great alim and ulama unlike the current imam who people think he is too controversial
you probably have seen sheikh imam qasim on islam channel presenting pearls of knowledge and the other day he presented live niger appeal
wasalam

[Umm Yoosuf]

Nope i don't watch islam channel. Subhanallah...so other masjids are following saudi and not the hadiths :(...imam qasim did write a book called "Du'a the weapon of the believer"...?

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
can you tell me where i can find info on that book via the internet? i think you got the wrong imam qasim
wasalam

[Danish]

:sl:
my mosque says fasting starts on thusday, and taraweeh on wednesday

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
bro why is it so late for you? but i guess you have to follow your mosque
wasalam

[Umm Yoosuf]

thats the book i was talking about

http://islamicbookstore.com/b7030.html


But looking at the name of the writer of the book.....i can see its not him...

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
no sis it isn't him, i know he hasn't published any books
here is his school site
www.alkhair.org.uk
wasalam

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
thats what i thought, people would think that he lives in other country apart from UK
wasalam

[Ummu Amatullah]

We live in America. So, our Ramadan starts on Wednesday.

so that means we fast tomorrow
wasalam

wa 'alykum asalam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.


yeh same ere bro.. we got ramadhan tomorrow. its really anoyin tho cz all the masjidz disagree and then it leads to people havin eidz on separate dayz..



wasalam o 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
yeah i don't like it when we are doing importants events on seperate days, i feel as if we are isolated
wasalam

[Zuko]

Asallama Alaikum brother no,actually it's on Tuesday.Ramadan Mubarak everyone. :D :)

Actually, no, as said by Shura Council of N. America, ICNA, ISNA and the Fiqh Council of N. America:

www.icna.com
www.isna.org
http://www.lansingislam.com/index.htm
http://www.ing.org/speakers/subpage....m=22&pagenum=4

The position taken by the Islamic Shura Council of North America is: A CONFIRMED CRESCENT SIGHTING REPORT IN NORTH AMERICA WILL BE ACCEPTED AS LONG AS SUCH A REPORT DOES NOT CONTRADICT INDISPUTABLE ASTRONOMICAL INFORMATION.

Ramadan 1426 - There was no confirmed Moonsighting tonight!


The first day of Fasting is Wednesday October 5th, Insha Allah

Taraweeh prayers will start on Tuesday October 4th after the Isha prayers at 8:45 pm

According to ISNA's web page: "Members of the Fiqh Council, National Islamic Shura Council and Muslim astronomical consultants, in a conference call on Monday evening, agreed that there were no confirmed reports of moon sightings in North America on Monday, October 3. Therefore, Sha'ban will complete 30 days and Ramadan will begin on Wednesday, October 5, insha'Allah."

mashallah your city is united
my mosque is divided and many people do their own things, it all went wrong as soon as sheikh qasim went to al khair to be the imam there
wasalam

Asallama Alaikum I remember that happened last year.Some people had eid on Thursday and the rest Friday.Since some people beleived Eid was on Friday they thought it was a sign of judgement.Really funny how people could so easily add things to the religion. :mad: :-[

[Zuko]

Its a shame alot of people are fasting today here in america.... there was no moon to see last night....

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
yeah its sad to see so much divisions among muslims in their countries
wasalam

Sister the people at Saudi Arabia sighted the moon so I guess it's time for Ramadan Wasallam.

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
that is what our imam said, just because saudi is doing taraweeh yesterday doesn't mean we have to do it as well, he said we won't follow saudi we will follow the hadith of our Prophet SAW
so i guess he thinks saudi didnt follow the hadith?
wasalam

[Ummu Amatullah]

Actually, no, as said by Shura Council of N. America, ICNA, ISNA and the Fiqh Council of N. America:

That's so confusing I had the calendar which clearly read,"Tuesday."Man humans these days. :mad:Zak why did you still my old siggy?Give back my Ramadan Mubarak flower :mad:

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam
i guess our imam never sighted the moon so it isn't ramadhan for us and we will fast tomorrow
the only reason why there was chaos is because the community was angry as to why we are not following saudi so shiekh qasim said it is two different contries and if one country sights the moon it doesn't mean ramadhan for the whole world
wasalam

[Ummu Amatullah]

see the image location !
its on the LI server !
n so a LI staff can use it ;)

:offtopic:

So I guess you all deserve the blame :p :p :p :p You shouldn't be going around doing stuff like that to other members very mean. :mad: Kidding please forgive me.Wasallam.

Sheik Qasim cool I was listening/watching to him and Zakir Nakir I think he was interviewing him or something not sure,but mash'Allah.You're lucky. :thumbs_up :D

[MetSudaisTwice]

salam

most people in college are fasting tomorrow insha Allah which is a shame beacuse that means we will be celebrating eid on different days...AGAIN!!

walakumasalaam warhmatulahi wabarakthu

[Zuko]

Man, Ramadan is supposed to make me happy, but whenever it comes around, all I get are racist remarks and weirdos saying stuff like: "If anyone sees the moon, anywhere in the world, then everyone everywhere has to fast no matter what" What am I supposed to do? I have one side saying I'm right in not fasting, and one side saying I should fast today... I mean, ISNA, ICNA, and people all over n. america are fasting tomorrow, why is there such a big controversy?
