Muslims had hoped to conclude their fast last night and break it with the Eid-el-Fitr (Sallah) celebrations on Sunday.
Is this 'non-sighting of new moon' all over the world, or just in Nigeria? And does this mean there's no public holiday Monday and Tuesday?
Fasting end today. 2morow sunday 19th Aug is Eid-ul-fitr.
ReplyDeleteit either 29 or 30 if the moon is sited on the 29th night then it would have been concluded,but if not sited the we have to complete the month i.e the month can never be 28 or 31 .Muslims over the world must abide by this rule.

ReplyDeleteI see the moon
ReplyDeleteThe moon sees me
God bless the moon
And God bless me.
I thought a basic knowledge of geography would help explain the concept of crescent moon to some of our ignorant Nigerians who have no knowledge about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Muslims' month is based on lunar months. For a crescent moon to be seen, it has to be 29 or 30 days. Most times, a crescent month surfaces after every 29 days and that is why you find Muslims fasting for 29 days. And incase it doesn't surface on the 29th night, then it must definately show up on the 30th night. It is never more than 30 days before a crescent month comes out. On the other hand, what if it doesn't surface on the 30th days, the fasting must be terminated on that day. The reason might be because of weather condition due to bad visibility readings...then Muslims are asked to follow the readings and sightings of other places where there is a possible visibility. For example, in UK, the possibility of sighting a crescent moon is low so they based their sighting on South Africa's reading or Morocco.
This shouldn't be a an avenue where other people should be attacking or mocking others. It is because we don't understand what we believe (Muslims and Christians) in that causes misunderstanding and problems in Nigeria.
And to Linda's question, it is not confirmed that there is a place where the crescent moon was sighted so Muslims are fasting today to complete the 30th day of fasting. As for public holiday, ask your question.
Hiaan!! Abeg ohh mk una help dem find d moon ohh b4 dem enter chrches n insyd our bedroom! Biko nu ohhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteMy business sector makes it possible for me to meet so many muslims and northerners and the truth be told,they are as angry,if not even more,as other nigerians,with the madness of boko haram. I wish the best of celebrations.@logosfromDac
ReplyDeleteNa global warming and climate change cause am o.........Linda u ought to know that inabilty of the moon to appear is as a result of the alteration of the climate by green house gases.
ReplyDeleteFasting ends today Saturday
ReplyDeleteMonday and Tuesday had been declared Public Holiday

ReplyDeleteI stole the moon coz of their wickedness.
ReplyDeleteCome and take your moon joor its in my kitchen.
It would be nice if they can never sight the new moon so the Boko Haram animals will continue fasting to eternity instead of blowing up innocent Nigerians!
ReplyDelete@anon 12:49...thanks for giving me my first hearty laffa of d day....almost fell off my chair laffing...
ReplyDeleteAAS, u are really an educated fellow, u have said it all, pple in the house are just joking over it bcos they lack understanding of the concept. U can agree with me now that boko is halas (lawful) and not haram (forbidden)
ReplyDeleteAs it is stated in the holy book 'My people perish for lack of ignorance'. Thanks AAS for the enlightenment. It is best to make a meaningful comment from which others can learn, than make a nuisance.......
ReplyDeleteThis year's fasting calculation is wrong, cos the moon was sighted on saturday but the sun was overshadowing it. Even on sunday, towards the evening time it appeared. This tells us that it was the sun that hid it from us here on earth..
ReplyDeleteSubuhanalah
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad as in just a few days, Ramadan will be here once again. I'd like to express my most heartfelt and heartiest Ramadan wishes to all of Muslims around the world. Ramadan Kareem!
