Sulttan of Sokoto has postponed celebration of Ramadan salah till to tomorrow 6th July, 2016 for not being able to sight the Moon. Why do Muslims have to start and end Ramadan by sighting the Moon? Don't tell me the moon is for counting days (calendar), as you can count days without the moon.

truthman2012:


Thanks bro.

Ezekiel 8:15-16

15 He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable (abominable) than this.”

16 He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.

Deuteronomy 4:19 ►

And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars--all the heavenly array--do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

The anti christ will come from islam --maybe

truthman2012:
If islamic Allah is the creator of the universe and wants Ramadan fast observed, one would expect him to bring out the moon at the beginning and bring it out again at exactly 30 days at the end, after all, he expects the fasting to last for 30 days. But the reality is, muslims are always disappointed and get agitated for sighting the moon. It shows Allah is not in control of the universe.

peteregwu:


The Bible has exposed what Islam is about, worship of the moon and sun god. Now I see the reason they have the Crescent moon and the star. Guys beware, Allah is not the true God that created the universe.

peteregwu:


No, the antichrist will not come from islam, the antichrist is someone who claim to be a Christian.....meaning it would come from Christianity as well. Islam is just a puppet of the antichrist.

tayour917i:

Sentiment apart... You see, you don't use your own level of thinking to rationalize what our creator (God/Allah) had designed perfectly... Many things are beyond human comprehension.. I just felt you should realize God cannot be questioned.

Ifeann:


thanks for posting this perhaps yazach,ypeace , empiree, rilwan and co can explain why the moon is so important to them.. the practice is not in the torah, tanak or new testament.. the pagan tribe of mohammed did this moon god nonsense and now muslims do it.. with the cresent moon and star on there mosques.. idol worship plain and simple..

kyrios:
Muslims make use of the lunar calendar
so that's why they start fasting when the moon is sighted and also stop fasting when the moon is sighted

arcbay:
I've been on my balcony all night till now but saw no moon o, one joke will later come up and say he saw the moon in sokoto. I don't know if his own sky is in HD and different from every other state.

BTW, I hope the moon keep playing tricks on them so FG should keep extending the break abeg.

truthman2012:


And why do they end fasting after the moon has disappointed them?

Faremisodeeq:

ancientbanana:

And why do they end fasting after the moon has disappointed them?

kyrios:
go and study the lunar circle well a lunar month is either 29 or 30 just go online and read articles about lunar circle

truthman2012:


How many days have you fasted already?

Why did you stop fasting today after the moon has failed you? Why don't you continue fasting by following your lunar calendar?

kyrios:
cause the was Gregorian calendar is so is lunar do you ask people why they fast during lent?

truthman2012:


Telling you the truth is what you called an "insult"? So you like to be praised lying to you.

truthman2012:


Stop the insult friend, islamic Allah is not my creator. Allah is Satan disguising as God. If allah and Yahweh are the same, why can't you say "Yahweh Akbar"?

alfarouq:
I realise most of the xtians here are challenging not because they want to know but because they are trying to mock but notewistanding I will try to clarify, the Islamic calculation which signify the beginning of a new month is d appearance of a new moon very tiny that its almost difficult to be seen with the naked eye and it lasts very little before it disappears. Every new day the size increases I.e the moon on second day is bigger than that of the first and smaller than that of the third day. It continues like that until it becomes a full moon on the 14 of every month, then it begins to wane. I.e the moon on the 15th day is smaller than that of 14 but bigger than that of 16, it continues to reduce and by the time it gets to around 27 of the month it would have waned completely and disappeared only for it to appear after the 29th to signify the beginning of a new month. If not sighted the month is then having 30 days and a month can't be more than 30 days. On the 30th of every month whether the moon is sighted or its been covered by cloud, a new month will be counted as first. Hope that answers your question

Wow! religion apart, that people use astrological components and other features of life to make predictions and study things doesn't mean they worship them. It's plain common sense. It's hypocritical to think that way, when nature is the basis of all discoveries. Too bad, Black man thinking the black way

truthman2012:


That is divination my friend.

The bible

Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. (psalm 19 vs 2)

Job 38:4, 7
4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the Earth?
Tell Me if you have understanding.
...
7 When the morning stars (planets) sang together,
And all the sons of God (angels) shouted for Joy?"

Then God commanded, "Lights come into being in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night. They were for signs, for seasons, for days and years; (Genesis 1:14)

Jeremiah 31:35-36
35 Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the Sun for light by day,
And the laws of the Moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;
The Lord of the Armies is His name:
36 "If these laws depart from before Me," declares the Lord,
"Then the descendants of Israel also shall cease
From being a nation before Me forever."

How do all these teach you to consult God's creation for divination? Stop the trash and let's face the subject.
