OFFICIAL 1st Day of Shawwal in Different Countries
Islam prescribes a time keeping order in the world. Time flows from east to west. Some people are ahead and some behind according to the time keeping order which should not be violated.
Eid, like Jumu'ah should be performed all ever the world in a day (24 hours) of the same name. Celebrating Eid on different days is contrary to the Islamic calendar prescribed in the Qur'an 2:189.
The date fixed by Rasoolullah for Eidul Fitr is the First of Shawwal and for Eidul Adha the 10th of Zul hijja of the Islamic calendar prescribed in the Qur'an 2:189.
The weekly Eid, the Jumu'ah is observed on Friday at noon all over the world. This teaches us the time and place of the day change in the world. When Yaumul-Jumu'ah comes first Jumu'ah is prayed 9 hours before Makkah. The last Jumu'ah is prayed 15 hours after Makkah. Reversal of this order is forbidden. Those ahead in time will be ahead in day/date also.
The weekly Eid of Jumu'ah is prayed on Friday at noon within 24 hours all over the world. If some people prayed on Saturday and Sunday it will be transgression of Allah's orders.
If the First of Shawwal fell on a Friday Eid will be held on Friday at the stipulated time all over the world. This teaches us unity of day and date. Difference of Islamic dates in different places is contrary to the teachings of the Shariah.
Islam says to progress with times and technology then why do Muslims not do that. Are we living in a time to fight the War with Bow & Arrows and/or Swords That was the Sunnah of the Prophet. Prophet's Sunnah was to travel on camel. Do we do that?

But when it comes to start Ramdan or Eid, the following is happening against Islamic calendar prescribed in the Qur'an 2:189:
