Re: Eid on Friday or Saturday???
Richardson, Plano Masjids a/w EPIC are celbrating Eid on Saturday......breaking up the unity. !!!!!!!! Of course they had booked the Dallas Convention Center on the first day of Ramadhan, does anyone really expect them to chage their bookings on the last day of Ramadhan??? They will loose their money $$$, So they decided...heck why not save the money and celebrate on saturday..... anyways...who cares about the SUNNAH......We live for $$$$$.... Allaho mustaan.!!!!! May Allah guide them and the ICNA/ ISNA...they are all a fitnah...breaking up the Unity of the Ummah. PS: Wonder how these masajids will fast the days of Arafat & Ashura. Will they be off. What a BIG Question for those who follow the Imams of these masajids. BEWARE !!!!!
Breaking the basic rules in Islam in the name of Unity isn't a great thing either. Whats wrong with being united about accepting the fact that two cities can sight the moon on two different days and do not celebrate Eid on the same date. I am all for actually sighting the moon in the town you live rather than having a muslim callender just to please our godfathers. I am completely against following Saudi Arabia for declaring the Eid, makes no sense at all.
The Richardson and Plano Masjids are simply following the Muslim callender as they pledged for it couple of years ago.
