Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

Neglecting all the scientific basics and facts, Saudi had accepted claim of sighting on Sunday 09 December 2007, and announced the beginning of Thul Hijjah to be on Monday 10 December 2007, and hence Eid will be on Wednesday 19 December 2007.

When in entire world, crescent could only be seen and that too with only optical aid in SouthWest Pacific, the Saudies claimed to have seen it in KSA on December 9, Sunday!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

Now all the European, US, UK muslims will again be divided due to this Saudi foolishness! And so will be people in NWFP! Pathetic!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

They saw the moon on Dec 9 and annonuced it on Dec 10!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

how exactly can the Saudis declare Eid without even spotting the moon?

have Saudis mastered the art of time travel and thus can rely information from the future when the moon will be cited?

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

^ bhai meray the eid-ul-adha is 10 days after the new moon....
the moon has been spotted and i think even a first grade student can count 10 days after that to tell u when the eid is coming....

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

^^ ah didn't know that :)

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

Peace mercenary2k

But it still does seem that Allah (SWT) has bestowed the Saudis with the best eyesight in the world ... MashaAllah! They always seem to be the first to announce?

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

ya man

why do they insist on people looking for the new moon

why cant they use modern telescopes to spot the moon?

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

You are in Bahrain! Did you see the moon on Sunday?

Or even did you see it on Monday? Being the 2nd day moon as per Saudies's claims, would have been seen by everyone there!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

^ why are you getting worked up?

are you in the middle east? bhai...apne alaake mein chand dekho aur eid karo and for heaven's sake....Stop Whinging!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

You are right! But people in the west who want to follow the saudies will create rift again among people over there! Two or three eids again this year!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

You can never have one eid for everyone in the world, unless you follow the one opinion that one moon sighting is enough for everyone all over the world.

And expecting others to doctor moon sightings for people's comfort is a bit unrealistic.

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

But there should not be two eids within an area one square kilometer!

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

Some can't count.

Saudis are responsible for split communities of Muslims all over the world. Nothing new.

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

^ saudis dont force others to follow their dates....
if the communities elsewhere can't find solutions for their problems u cant blame saudis for it....

i dont see why everyone always cries about this issue....
every eid u hear that saudis r wrong....

for God's sake tell me one good reason why anyone wud want to have eid/hajj/ramadan on the wrong day????
what possible benefit cud the saudis get out of this????

Re: Saudi Declares Eid to Be on Wednesday!

What benefit is there for the Saudi's to split Muslims into communes. Think, sir, think!
