What’s the methodology? Tell us.

Islam says if you sight the new moon or count till the month is 29 or 30. All these can be predicted. There’s technology advancements that aids these.

We’re not in 6th century where we have to wait for the Mulama to tell us it’s a new month. Anyone with knowledge and get the correct information.

Tell me why the calendars are always accurate.

I am only just checking if that swearing before post in this religious news is gone...

Boom as I clicked reply post.. I did not see any swearing, so I had yo remove my googles to wear my glasses to be sure o... As I no wan mek dem swear for me o...Even though I know a curse without a cause will come to naught...

Nice one...

Back to the topic...
So if this is Year 1446 in Arabic Calendar, but 2025 in the Roman calendar.. What of the Chinese, Indian, Jewish and Ethiopian calendars...
That means there is so much confusion that we don't even know the true ages, times and seasons...everything is just relative...

May science can accurately help in this AI age...

He'll inform the moon sighting committee under the chairmanship of the Sultan.

Someone must be a leader, Sokoto been the oldest Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, he was given that priority to lead the Muslims.

1. There are appropriate channels for him to report it.

2. It's very unlikely that the crescent will be sighted in the south but go unsighted in the north. A simple look at satellite imagery will help you understand this. And I say this as a remote sensing expert.

3. Islam is a religion of orderliness and gives strong importance to protocols.

4. Please reserve your tribalism for the politics section.

beardedboy:
As you said, those calendars are predictions. So they can be correct or incorrect.

And as I said earlier, there are various versions of these calculations. And they contradict themselves. Please spend time to read and study before arguing. These predictions are not 2+2 =4 type of science.

Most importantly, the Qur'an says "Whoever amongst you sights the moon". So the beginning of an Islamic month is based on sighting not calculations.

You act like the 6th century was some form of barbaric era. It shows you know next to nothing about history. These statistical estimates for predicting the moon have been around since that 6th century. Yet, Allah and His messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم commanded the believers to base their months on sighting.

Are you wiser or Allah?!

DEXTROVERT:
So when is the sallah public holiday
Na that one concern me

Sheuns:
Why did you skip the part where the Qura'n says: if the moon is not sighted, count the days until 29 or 30 and begin a new month?

Afonja007:

Oldest Muslim caliphate in the North, not Nigeria.

Uthman Dan Fodio introduced Islam to the North.
In Yorubaland, they have been practicing Islam before Dan Fodio's grandfather was born.
