In the Name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Global
Lailatul Qadar
By
Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Very First Global
Lailat-ul-Qadr was
according to Makkah al-Mukarramah Calendar. If one
starts Ramadaan on different days, then his Lailat-ul-Qadr will not
match with Kabah (First House of Allah) in Makkah al-Mukarramah. If one
misses true Lailat-ul-Qadr, he/she might misses
Blessings of Lailat-ul-Qadr.
Celebration of Eid and
starting of
Ramadaan has become a BIG Joke in the Global Muslim World, who are
widely divided and celebrating their Eid, or starting their Fasting on
2 to 3 different days. Don't forget that there is only one Sun, one
Earth and its one Moon. Thanks to Allah, Fridays are not decided by
moon sightings otherwise it could be real mess.
This is a Critical
Issue. We need to
remember that on the Day of Eid, Fasting is prohibited (Haraam). So we
need to understand it with True and Sincere Love for Allah and with a
broad mind.
Also keep in mind that
the very First
Global Lailatul Qadr
was according to one Global Islaamic Calendar from
Maghrib till Fajir in Makkah for the whole world, who are sharing same
night with Makkah and the Day of Arafah 9th Dhil Hajj who are sharing
same day with Makkah, at the time of Hajj is to unite the Muslim Ummah
on one Global Islaamic Day, for only one thing: the Love for Allah
alone on one Global Day of Arafa, i.e. 9th Dhill-Hajj Globally by
sharing same day like sharing Friday globally.
Those who are Sharing Same Night with
Kabah, Makkah must celebrate their Eid and Ramadaan same together,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_097.005). Global
Moon sighting must be observed around Makkah.
At the time of Magrib (Sunset) in Makkah then people in the far east,
who have not yet started their Fajir time, are sharing the same night.
Also before time of Fajir at Makkah people on the far west, who have
started their Maghrib (Sunset) time, are sharing the same night. Remember: Kabah in Makkah is Center of the Earth.
We may never Unite
Muslim Ummaah, if
we celebrate Eid/Ramadaan etc. on different days and also have
different Worshipping Methods in this modern age with advanced
technology. We must acknowledge all Muslims around the Globe.
We have seen, I am
Right, you are right, we all are right. BUT it didn't work and Ummaah
is being butchered for centuries. The
Great Mistake of a human is that I am Right (100%
correct). If he is right, it is very good, BUT if he is wrong then it
is WORST and he will never ever correct himself and might go to hell
forever.
One must keep in his
mind is that he could be wrong at some point and so he always needs to
keep getting good knowledge by Listening
to all BUT following the truth.
Allah
already mentioned the solution of moon sighting in the Quraan very
CLEARLY that it MUST be according to Makkah Islaamic Calendar globally
depending upon Very First Visible Birth (Crescent) of the Moon near the
House of Allah (Kabah) for the whole world, NOT according to any other
specific region/area/house/ or backyard,
and we must take guidance from the Quraan to perform Hajj for all
Muslims around the Globe and not very specific to one region, do
fasting in the month of Ramadaan and celebrate Eid, GLOBALLY and follow
one Makkah Islaamic
Calendar globally in the light of Quraan (book of
guidance), (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.189, 003.096, 006.096, 010.005).
They ask you (Muhammad
{Peace be Upon Him}) about the (visible)
phases of the moon! Say, They provide a timing device for the Global
People, and Determine
the Time of HAJJ
(in Makkah for the whole world Globally), and it is not righteousness
that you should enter the houses by back doors, but righteousness is
this that one should guard (against evil); and go into the houses by
their (main) doors and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, that you may
be successful, (Al_Quraan, { Surah Al-baqara} 002.189).
In the above verses Allah is clearly mentioning that the Phase of the Moon
is to Determine
the Time of HAJJ and Do
Not create your personal calendar, rather build one unified Global
Islaamic Calendar which must follow Makkah Islaamic Calendar.
Remember:
Before the advancement of modern technological when communication was
very slow even in Saudi Arabia different cities could have been
celebrating Eid and Ramadan at different days like in Pakistan Muslims
observing Eid and Ramadan on three different days still at the
beginning of 21st Century. Universe is expending as per the Quraan
(Ref: Al_Quraan.051:047) and thanks to Allah by the advancement of
modern communication we can use modern tools like telescope for more
accuracy and we already have very accurate data for moon sightings in
Makkah, we can inform rest of the world in advance and celebrate Eid,
Ramadaan etc., Globally according to Makkah Islaamic Calendar,
regardless of whether in the far east in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia or Australia or New Zealand etc.,
people have not seen the crescent moon or in the far west in North
America (USA, Canada or Mexico etc.) and South America (Brazil,
Argentina, Peru, Chile etc.), WE
MUST FOLLOW MAKKAH AND OBSERVE MAKKAH ISLAAMIC CALEDER for Global
Muslims Unity.
Yes we must use modern technology to observe Moon Sighting in around
Kabaah in Makkah the First Qibla and the First House of Allah, since
any modern technology which benefits humanity is Halaal, and we must
announce it using modern technology as well.
Also keep in mind it
will be hard to
see the crescent moon in cities due to lights and pollutions etc. We
should listen and observe to those in far remote areas near Kabah,
Makkah, where there is less pollution, or even better, take advantage
of modern astronomy. Not only Global Warming BUT Global Dimming and
other unknown factors may be causing difficulty in sighting the
Crescent Moon. Global Dimming was discovered just after 11-SEP-2001,
when all the US flights were grounded for three days:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15809.htm
With the availability of
Modern
Technology, we must calculate crescent moon sightings and also
physically verify moon sighting with the naked eye around Kabah in
Makkah, and inform Global Muslim World and no one should look for the
Moon Sighting in their backyard individually in the far north or south
or east or west, instead Follow Makkah. It is not for your region in
the far north or south or east or west, instead it is to perform HAJJ
globally according to Makkah Islaamic Calendar. Every Month must start with the
NEW Crescent MOON (Very First
Visible Birth of the Moon) in around Kabah in Makkah and
announce it Globally. Invisibility
of moon before New Crescent is like it is in mother’s womb and is not
yet born.
Years, Months and Days
are GLOBAL
while Salaat Time is Local. Also the day JUMA is GLOABL while its
prayer time is Local, and is similar to New Year on 1st January, but
its breakfast, lunch and dinner etc. times are local.
Allah told to face
Makkah means
follow Makkah and get guidance from Makkah for Hajj, Umrah, Salaat,
Ramadaan and Eid etc., and do not divide Religion Islaam, since those
who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast NO part
in them in the least: their
affair is with Allah,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_002.125-129, 002.130-138, 002.142-144, 002.149-150,
002.189, 003.095-097, 003.103, 003.106, 006.096, 006.159, 010.005).
As
an example to understand, if suppose Prophet Muhammad (sav) is alive
today, and he has to start Ramadaan or celebrate Eid today, then which
day will you do start fasting or celebrate Eid?
If in Kabah, Makkah
(First House of
Allah) and in Masjid-e-Nabvi in Madinah Munawwarah people start
Ramadaan or celebrate Eid today, then which day will you do start
fasting or celebrate Eid?
We must unite on ONE
method of worship of Prophet Ibraheem (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), and we must
take guidance from the Quraan (True Book of Guidance), Kabah in Makkah
and must not divide ourselves on all religious issues including Salaat,
Zakaat, Hajj, Umrah, etc., (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.001-005, 003.095-097).
If
you are not following Makkah to Establish Salaat, Celebrate Ramadaan,
Eid, Hajj etc., then you are dividing Religion Islaam and your matter
is with Allah, (Ref: Al_ Quraan_002.125-129, 002.130-138,
002.142-144, 002.149-150, 002.189, 003.095-097, 003.103, 003.106,
006.096, 006.159, 010.005).
None argue concerning the
revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve ...,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
IF
QURAAN CANNOT CONVIENCE YOU NOTHING WILL
Misguided Mullas do not preach the
Quraan, do not follow the Quraan, do not understand Modern Sciences and
keep their followers in the DARK.
