The Muslim Ummah will perform Ramadan /Eid on the same date worldwide.
- Rasul (pbuh) has said in Tirmiji Sharif’s Hadith no. 697,
اَلصَّوْمُ يَـوْمَ تَـصُوْمُوْنَ وَالْـفِطْرُ يَوْمَ تُـفْطِرُوْنَ وَاْلأَضْحٰى يَوْمَ تُـضَحُّوْنَ –
Meaning: “Starting of Ramadan will be on that day in which you will keep fasting, Eidul Fitr will be on that day in which you will break your fasting and Eidul Adha will be on that day in which you will sacrifice animals.”
- Rasul (pbuh) has addressed the world Muslim Ummah by the word ‘you’ in this Hadith. There has got no indication in this Hadith about performing Saom/Eid on different days/dates in the world. Otherwise the world ‘Iyyamun’ in place ‘yaoma’ would be used in the Hadith. As such this Hadith tells us to perform Saom/Eid on the same date everywhere in the world.
- We have heard that Islam will be fully established in the world before coming of the Doom’s day.
- In Sura Nisa, ayat no. 4:159, Allah (swt) has said that, “After rearrival of Isa (Al) to this world everyone will surely bring his faith on him.”
- In Muslim Sharif, EPISODE Iman, Hadith – 297, it has been described that, “Before Qeyamat, oneday the Poll-tax levied on non-Moslim subjects will be abolished. That is, no non-Muslim will remain alive to pay poll-tax.
- Then the entire world will be considered to be one state and Ramadan/Eid will be observed on the same day/date.
- Then, why Muslim Ummah is not observing Ramadan & Eid on the same date now, which has been instructed by Allah (swt)?
