So why is tomorrow a public holiday? I don't understand.

GloriousGbola?
Ramadan is either 29 or 30 days

Public holiday has to be announced in advance

so normally the FG hedges and assumes ramadan will be 29 days. if they dont do this - you can have a situation where there is no public holiday on eid day, which will be very not cool

also Saudis normally insist on not seeing the moon until it is 30 days , nigerians not so much

Huh
Bubu4Sea:
I concur that something is wrong, it may explain why they dont like Jews & Christians
As the biggest lie told is that we all worship the same God.

Don'take me laugh the same Christianity they laugh at, at Israel and spilt on, you regtd as religion..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you know jew can worship inside the mosque but not in the church
Did you know jew know Islam as a monotheistic religion not Christianity
Did you know the Israel see Christianity as some stupid ppl worship one JC a jew guys
Keep deceiving yourswlf giy


Yes i know, its just that same claim we worship the same God & that we are all abrahamic.

The only religions that are Abrahamic are Judaism & Christianity.

Thats why they hate Judaism & Christianity, they are NOT Abrahamic.
So they seek the moon, circle stones and look to the moon.

This is certainly NOTHING to do with God.
Hence the love of killing Jews & Christians
Don't make me laugh the same Christianity they laugh at, at Israel and spilt on, you regtd as religion..🤣🤣🤣🤣

Religion evolved from astrology? That's a new one I'm hearing
Jesus being born on Dec 25 or not has nothing to do with the moon or astrology? I don't think you understood my question
Thats a lunar calender date


before christain and islam religion at least, you have astrologers

the wise men who came from the east bearing gold, frankincense and myrhh were astrologers/ stargazers and they were not 3 lol

did u not read that they followed a star?

Your last is not correct, they announce when the see it...

If there's evidence of sighting it here, we'd definitely pray tomorrow!

Hehe. Please are you saying that even if the Saudis sight the moon on the 29th day, they will hem and haw until the 30th day? cheesy

Abuse and misusing the name. Nigeria. You should say Sokoto Caliphate awaits the Sultan of Sokoto.

You people's fight to make Nigeria an Islamic Republic will eventually end at you having Arewa Islamic Republic to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

No it's not
It has nothing to do with lunar calendar at all
Having astrologers before religion does not mean religion started from astrology. The wise men from the East did not subscribe to any religion when they came to greet Jesus. The only followed a star and the still referred to baby Jesus as King of the Jews which means it was not a religious visit per se but more like a state visit. That's why they first visited Herod's palace in search of the baby

You have told us how Jews see Christians. Can you now tell us how Jews see Muslims especially your prophet?

Another beautiful night to rest, reflect, and enjoy the blessings of Ramadan a little longer. Allah knows best, and His timing is always perfect.
Eid will come, but for now… we cherish this extra moment. Alhamdulillah
Iran missiles will not allow them to rest and celebrate.

E norva reach when we go dey use technology for this moon sighting? Abi the manual sight seeing is part of the "ritual'.

Anyways, una do well for the two days holiday from work.
It was not manual, they use sighting instruments, they didn't see it. Keep on fasting for one more day

I usually wonder why the moon and star is used as a symbol of Islam

Could this be the reason
A simple Google search and Wikipedia will clear your doubts and educate you (That is if you are open to education)!

Bubu4Sea:
I've checked the bible and Torah, they never spent time around the moon sightings.

So where did it come from?
Were Christians and Jews praying 5 times or any other number like Muslims do?
