There is only one way.
- Allah (swt) is one, Kalema is one, Islam is one, Muslim Ummah is one, Earth is one, Moon is one-so the month of Ramadan will also be one.
- It can further be said that, our Qibla is one. Khanaye Qaba
is one. The congregation of Haji is held in one day, Qurbani or Eid-ul Azha is held there in one day, Friday’s Juma prayer is held in one day worldwide and Qiyamat will also be held in one day.
- Since a day has its starting and ending, similarly, the month will have a starting & ending. The year will also have a starting and ending. It means that the “World Hijri Calendar” will have to be only one. By counting day, month & year separately, division should not be created in the Muslim Ummah as because Qiyamat cannot be divided and multiple new-moons cannot be invented. Similarly, multiple calendars cannot be created. The rule of Allah (swt) and His Rasul (pbuh) is one and that will remain as only one.
- Question may arise, as to what may be the solution? The solution is one. The way we count day & date with the help of IDL, we will have to count months and years with the help of IDL.
- Being Sentimental, if Khana-i-Kaba is made the centre for counting days, months & years, then IDL has to be forgotten & science is to be denied. Also we shall have to accept Friday in one side of Harem Sharif and Saturday on the other side of it. There will be more indiscipline in place of discipline. In Allah’s (swt) world, the creator of science, there is no indiscipline. This is what He said.
- Since creation, the counting and naming of week days have been going on continuously. We all perform our religious functions by obeying that.
- Under such context and continuity, if the beginning and sighting of new moon is counted on the basis of IDL, then there will have no possibility of any indiscipline anywhere in the world. Rather the Islami Sharia in this regard will be firmly established with disciplines. This cannot but be the desire of any devoted Muslim.
- As such, in my opinion, there exists only one way & that is to accept my proposed “World Hijri Calendar” as an unique gift of Allah (swt) for the man kind & follow it Worldwide.
