Lunar Month Chapter – 1, Episode – 16 Ramadan & Eid cannot be performed separately on the basis of moon-sighting in different parts of the world

Ramadan & Eid cannot be performed separately on the basis of moon-sighting in different parts of the world.

  1. Is not it become a matter of laughter, when we talk about sighting of new-moon on the basis of countries like tiny Maldive, small Bangladesh, large India & massive Russia? Maldive used to follow Bangladesh earlier, but do not do now. They realized that there is no sharia basis of counting lunar month in Bangladesh. In fact, boundary of a country is man-made & not the one given by Allah (swt). As such, the moon cannot be confined to any geographical boundary.
  2. In the erst-while East & West Pakistan, starting of Ramadan & performance of Eid were held on the same day. Whereas, India was in between, where Ramadan & Eid had been observed earlier or later, which did not have any justification or basis. Long committed mistakes and wrong teachings were responsible for this.
  3. Hence, the month has to be started from the day of sighting new-moon from anywhere in the world & according to that Ramadan /Eid will have to be observed.
