Eid Ul-fitr Moon Sighted In Saudi Arabia, Other Countries by Nobody: 9:19pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
The Shawal moon was sighted in Saudi Arabia heralding the start of Eid ul-Fitr holidays in the Kingdom from Friday, the official Saudi Supreme Judicial Council announced Thursday evening. Muslims in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will celebrate Eid ul-Fitr on Friday, the Al-Arabiya news channel reported. Local media in Qatar also announced the sighting of the Shawal moon, marking Friday as the start of Eid holidays. Meanwhile, the Shawal moon was also sighted in Turkey, Australia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan where Eid will be celebrated tomorrow (Friday). The Ruet-i-Hilal Committee, the main official body tasked for sighting of the moon in Pakistan, is scheduled meet today (Friday). Eid ul-Fitr celebrations begin after the end of the holy month of Ramazan, during which Muslims abstain from food and drinks from dawn to dusk. Eid ul-Fitr starts when the new moon is spotted in the sky, making the Eid holiday different around the world. |

This reminds me of an epic movie 'APOCALYPTO'. The movie was directed by Mel Gibson and one of the major actor in that movie is named JAGUAR PAW. Their land ,JAGUAR PAW, was invaded by enemy forces and he was taken prisoner and exiled to the enemy territory to be used for human sacrificed for the 'SUN GOD' festival. As soon as JAGUAR PAW was to be sacrificed on the alter of the idol, the MOON was sighted by the by high priest which indicated that the gods had been filled with enough blood and there was no need for more human sacrifice. The movie was an epic one and the current sighting of the moon reminds me of that movie APOCALYPTO. |

@true2god an ignorant fellow indeed, shall i ask u a question, before the advent of the calender how do u know a new month secondly we muslims have our calender nd we have our way of telling that there is a newmonth(which you will know how if you answer my question) and lastly talking about gods did you know that the gregorian calender which the western world is using and which obviously you are using has it months to be the names of accient roman gods(research to confirm). i rest my case!!! |
