Very well said Crescent :k:

ROCKI…
One celebration day does not show unity of the Muslim Ummah! Sorry.
This idea/practice/innovation started some decades ago only, and it was originally inspired by the Cristmas being on the same day across the globe. Saudis nutcases didn’t get the point that first of all Sahaba/Salaf (who they refer to in every fatwa otherwise) always went the shariya way, moon sighting that is, whichever part of the world they were in.
Second of all we go by lunar calender and Christians go by gegorian. They can have it on the same day and we can’t. As we can’t have prayers at the same time. We have lunar and solar (incase of prayers) timings that we follow. WE ARE DIFFERENT.

Worst is that Saudia announced it with their ruler’s permisson only. There had been cases of Shabaan being of 28 days since they didn’t want Eid to be on a specific day of week.

As far Unity is concerned, so dear, Eid/Ramadhan on the same day won’t do a single bit. Its our aamaal/deeds and sincerness and love for our brothers that will create the real unbreakable BOND. Check out our history.

Thank You!!well said..
