If Islam Has Nothing To Do With Moon, Why Do Muslims Wait For It? by truthman2012(m): 8:49am On Jul 05, 2016
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.

Your question doesn't need any answer because you can't understand it based on your faith and belief. So giving you an answer will amount to a waste of time and resources.

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.

Your statement shows islam is a primitive religion. If the moon was used to count days in those days, do they still use moon to count days in Saudi Arabia till date? Don't you have islamic calendar?

Muhammad is said to be born 570 AD. This shows they were counting dates in calendar year at that time, then, what stops them counting months also in calendar year, after all, muslims have their own calendar year?

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.

I believe so too.

Jesus said when the end is near there will wars and rumour of wars, such that it had not happened before. Already there are wars and rumour of wars in every part of the world caused by islamists, preparatory to the comimg of the Antichrist. In the midst of these wars, a world leader will emerge who will promise peace to the world. He will pretend to be a man of peace (though with satanic agenda) and promise to put an end to islamic terrorism. People will believe him and surrender the world government to him and so the world will have one leader.

The man is the Antichrist who will prosecute the agenda of Satan and attempt to turn the world to a single religion. The quran says islam is a religion that conquer other religion (Quran 61:9). True to this verse, there are strategic plans by muslims all over the world to conquer. Note that the word "conquer" is a language of violence. When you hear the muslims say islamic Jesus is coming who will wipe out Christianity, they are referring to the Antichrist, but probably unknown to them. Jesus said if those days are not shortened even the elect will be deceived.

So you mean islamic calendar does not follow the sequence of days? If the moon comes out on the 27th of March the following day is the 1st of April?

Even with that, following the moon to determine your calendar still shows your allegiance to the moon as there are other means of counting days.

Occultists and people who make charms also have such allegiance to the moon. They would tell you the waxing or weaning moon in doing certain spells. The true God has all days for Himself, moon or no moon. Observance of moon in determining anything is pure occultism and idolatry.

You haven't answered my question: if moon comes out on 27th of March, will Islamic 1st April start the following day?

Is it for calendar purposes moon is also a symbol of islam?

Why should muslims choose moon as islamic symbol and also follow the appearance when it was well known that pagans also worship moon?

@rashe, please ignore the guy already. Answering his question won't stop him from further asking his foolish question. You are only paying him attention because you don't know him.

The fool didn't know that the lunar calendar is the same thing as Islamic calendar. Even though his great grandfather in yorubaland use the noon as their calender in the past, hence the reason why 'Osu' otherwise 'osupa' (moon) is the yoruba word for month. He will still come here to tell you that Islam use moon as calender because Muslims are worshipping a moon god.

smile, ur argument is invalid cos it is clearly stated in d Quran that we shd nt worship no other body other than d Almighty God cos he is creator of everything. Therefore, u comparing Islam 2 pagan is baseless cos Muslim believe only God has d power. besides, u av d right 2 believe what y wanna believe, it is ur choice but next time u wanna argue; seek knowledge on d topic of discourse first so DAT it won't result in u arguing blindly...peace!!

This is absolute trash, undoubtedly. I can see you are unable to answer the questions.

The same Allah who said you should believe in only God says you should copy Satan i.e pagans (idolaters).

[Quran 2:158 Pickthal] Lo! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of Allah) or visiteth it, to go around them (as the pagan custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord, (for him) lo! Allah is Responsive, Aware.

Which one do we believe now?

Does sun have a particular day it shines?

In Russian the word for Sunday is Воскресенье (Voskreseniye) meaning "Resurrection".[3] In other Slavic languages the word means "no work", for example Polish: Niedziela, Ukrainian: Недiля, Belorussian: Нядзеля, Croatian: Nedjelja, Serbian and Slovenian: Nedelja, Czech: Neděle, and Bulgarian: Неделя.

The Modern Greek word for Sunday, Greek: Κυριακή, is derived from Greek: Κύριος (Kyrios, Lord) also, due to its liturgical significance as the day commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, i.e. The Lord's Day
