Now What Is This???plaeseeee Help Me!!!!!!

I HAVEN’T EATEN ANYTHING SINCE THIS MORNING …THINKING TODAY IS ROZAAA…IS IT???OUR SOCIETY IN BOSTON…SAYS IT IS…OCT 4
=-========================================================

Ramadan Starts on Oct. 4
According to the below decision we declare that the first day of Ramadan will be tomorrow October 4th, and Taraweeh prayer will be held tonight at 8:00 pm at ISB.

Imams’ Shura Council of New England

United Ramadan Effort

Imams of greater Boston and New England have formed a moon sighting council in an effort to insure that the Muslim Community in New England will be able to enjoy the blessings of Ramadan this year, and for every period of worship that we as a community must look for the sighting of the Hilal ( The Crescent Moon).

We have decided not to accept the sighting of a single country or person due to the conflicting and sometimes dubious reports that we have had to deal with in past years.

We will accept reports of sightings from a majority of Muslim countries that either claim to have seen or not seen the Crescent. This will enable us to be better prepared by hours to declare the commencement of Ramadan, the Hajj season or to be secure as regards each of our months throughout the year.

We ask all Muslims in the New England area to do three things:

Follow the above decision to support the effort of uniting Muslims in the New England area
Contact your local Masjid to confirm the beginning
Make sincere supplication to Allah (T) to unite us and grant us the blessings of Ramadan

Your cooperation as a community is essential to our collective success.
