Eid-al-Fitr 1443 AH will be celebrated in most of the countries of the world on Monday, 2nd May 2022

Eid-al-Fitr 1443 AH will be celebrated in most of the countries of the world on Monday, 2nd May 2022

 

 


 

 

Eid-al-Fitr 1443 AH will be celebrated in most of the countries of the world on Monday, 2nd May 2022.

(Based on:

1. The criteria is that on the New Moon day, if the moon is born before sunset at Makkah and moon set is after sun set then the month start on that night. First day of the month falls on the next day, otherwise wait for another day.

2. The criteria are that after conjunction somewhere on the globe, at local sunset, the angle between sun and moon should be at least 8° and moon should be at least 5° above horizon. If these conditions are met, the month starts the next day; otherwise the month starts on the day following next day. )

 

We wish all our viewers Eid Mubarak !

 

The Astronomical New Moon (conjunction) was on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 20:28 UT. On April 30, the new moon or waxing crescent could not be seen anywhere in the world. So, the month of Ramadan 1443 AH will complete 30 days and the first day of Shawwal or  Eid ul Fitr 1443 AH will be the day of Monday 2nd May 2022.

 

Niger, Mali and Afghanistan was celebrated Eid ul Fitr 1443on Sunday, 1st May 2022 based on the declaration of false local crescent sighting.

Moreover, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka will be celebrate Eid ul Fitr 1443 on Tuesday, 3 rd May 2022 on the declaration of local crescent sighting or the compilation of 30.

 

On the occasion of the difference and disagreement in the timing of this year's celebration of Eid Al Fitr in the Islamic countries which reached three days that this matter is regrettable time when modern science, particularly astronomy, has reached a high degree of advancement and precision.

One of the objectives of Islamic religious seasons and feasts is that they are occasions for celebration, reflection and rapprochement of hearts among Muslims in all countries in specific common times. This unity appears also in the form of these celebrations which have a great impact on the unity of feelings and positions.

It seems that these religious occasions have recently become occasions reflecting the division of Muslims instead of their unity with a negative impact on others image about them. This is indeed a huge mistake that runs contrary to the objectives of religion as regards these sacred occasions.

OIC has addressed this issue since the 1980s examined it in various meetings and adopted numerous resolutions In view of the abovementioned considerations he will request the International Islamic Fiah Academy - in its new framework – to reconsider the standardization of the Islamic calendar proceeding from the provisions of religion and the constant principles of modem science with a view to adopting a unified global Islamic calendar in all Muslim countries. This will reflect the unity of Muslims during their feasts and celebrations.

We appeal to the religious and official authorities in the Muslim world to collaborate with the OIC to put an end to division and disagreement in this regard.

 

 

 

Now, we have to implement to the following resolution on the Unified Hijri Calendar of OIC.

 

 

RESOLUTIONS ON CULTURAL, SOCIAL AND FAMILY AFFAIRS ADOPTED TO THE 45TH SESSION OF THE COUNCIL OF FOREIGN MINISTERS (SESSION OF ISLAMIC VALUES FOR SUSTAINABLE PEACE, SOLIDARITY AND DEVELOPMENT) DHAKA – PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF BANGLADESH 05-06 MAY 2018 19-20 SHA’BAN 1439 H

D) THE UNIFIED HIJRI CALENDAR

Taking into account the pressing need for the unification and standardization of the Hijri Calendar which will reflect the unity of Muslims during the feasts and celebrations;

Taking note of the conclusions of the scientific symposium on unifying the Hijri Calendar held in Tunis on 11 June 2009 in presence of the OIC General Secretariat, the International Islamic Fiqh Academy and the Member States, which include the following:

 Take into account scientific facts and fixed and accurate astronomical calculations.

 

Need to rely on vision while making use of astronomical calculations and observatories and to Make use of Al-Shahid System of the Tunisian Scientist Mohamed Al Awsat Al-Iyari.

 

Taking also note of the International Conference of the Unity of Hijri Calendar, hosted by the Turkish Administration of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) in May 2016 in Istanbul to which scientists, astronomers and officials from around 50 countries attended.

 

Recalling all previous resolutions supporting Dar Al-Iftaa in implementing the satellite project in cooperation with Cairo University and the Center for Aerospace Studies and Consulting in the Arab Republic of Egypt, and stressing the importance of implementing the project proposed 15 years ago with the aim of unifying the Hijra calendar in Islamic countries as an embodiment of their unity;

 

1. Calls on OIC Member States and institutions and civil society organizations to financially contribute towards the establishment and manufacturing of the Islamic satellite.

2. Requests the Secretary General to take all necessary measures in this regard in coordination with Dar al-IftaaAl-Misriyhah with a view to starting the effective implementation of this project.

3. Calls upon all the Member States and Islamic institutions to implement previous resolutions to support the Fatwa Institution in implementing the satellite project with the cooperation of University of Cairo and Centre for Space Studies and Consultations in the Arab Republic of Egypt, and through cooperation with Turkish Administration of Religious Affairs (Diyanet).

4. Takes into consideration the efforts exerted by the United Arab Emirates to achieve the unity of Muslim countries through the two meetings of the sharia scholars and astronomers held in (1438/2016– 1439/2017) that agreed to the unification of the Hijri calendar."

5. Requests the Secretary-General to follow up the issues incorporated in this resolution and report thereon to the 46th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers.

FCNA Calendar for North America VS Ummul Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia

FCNA Calendar for North America VS Ummul Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia

FCNA Calendar for

North America

The Islamic calendar adopted by Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) is based on calculations with Ittihadul-Mataali' concept for the sake of global unity. FCNA decided to follow The European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR), headed by Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi which states that the sighting was not a requirement but just the means of ascertaining the beginning for a new month, and that is now attained by exact calculations.

 

The criteria are that after conjunction somewhere on the globe, at local sunset, the angle between sun and moon should be at least 8° and moon should be at least 5° above horizon. If these conditions are met, the month starts the next day, otherwise the month starts on the day following next day. The presence of moon above horizon is the basis.

 

Eidul Adha will be following Yaum 'Arafah as determined by Saudi Supreme Court.

Ummul-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia

The criteria is that on the New Moon day, if the moon is born before sunset at Makkah and moonset is after sunset then the month start on that night. First day of the month falls on the next day, otherwise wait for another day.

 

Dr. Zaki A. Mostafa of King AbdOolaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, published an article,"Lunar Calendars: The New Saudi Arabian Criteria" in SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Journal of The Observatory, Vol 125, p. 25-30. In conclusion of this article, he says, "Saudi Ummul-Qura criterion depends upon the probability of seeing the crescent rather than the capability (or visibility), that reduces the errors of starting the month before the conjunction or of beginning the month two days after the conjunction."

 

The dates shown in red color are different compared to FCNA Calendar which are authentic up to end of 1467 AH.

How We Make Global Islamic Calendar

How We Make Global Islamic Calendar





From the time of Sahabah to the present, Muslims observed the movement of the sun by their naked eyes every day for their five daily prayers. When clocks were invented, Muslims changed this method and started using calculated movements of the sun.  They did so even though there was no Ayah or Hadith that provide for using calculations for Salah.  They established the timings of daily Salah and developed perpetual Salah timetables that can be used throughout the year. Now, instead of physically watching movements of the sun, we can follow a timetable that is based on the calculations of the movements of the sun.  No one disputes the use of calculated times for Salah and no one considers it a bid’ah (innovation), or forbidden in Islam.

The Prophet –peace be upon him- was fully aware of the condition of his people at that time and he gave them the instructions according to their capacity. He gave them a method that was easy and simple so that they could start and end their months with confidence and according to the natural moon cycles decreed by Allah ta’ala.

Muslims in general continued sighting the Waxing Crescent (Hilal) to begin and end their month of Ramadan and celebrate Eid. It was easy in those days, and unity for distant localities was not an issue, because the communication to other localities was not easy. Now the whole world is a global village (one entity) because of instant and fast communication. Moreover, we are living in a time when we have to plan Eid and Ramadan way ahead of time, and we cannot remain uncertain until the last moment.  Further, the science and computers advancement have put us in a position that we can accurately calculate the position and cycles of the moon.  That is where calculation can help us determine the beginning of a new month ahead of time and for the unity of Ummah, we must have calculations applicable to the whole world as one unit. 

It is reported that among the great Tabi’in, Mutarrif ibn Abd-Allah held the opinion that calculations of Hilal can be used for Ramadan. Imam Taqiuddin al-Subki a great Shafi’i jurist even said that calculation were more reliable than eye sighting. 

When Muslims learned writing and calculations and became more knowledgeable about the Moon and its various phases, more voices were raised to rely on the calculations of the Hilal instead of its physical sighting. 

Most jurists did not accept calculations because they were not sure whether the calculations were correct or could be trusted. With the development of astronomical sciences in the last one hundred years more and more voices are being raised by jurists in support of calculations.
One of the famous Muhaddith Shaikh Ahmad Muhammad Shakir wrote a long article emphasizing that calculation is the most appropriate method of determining the lunar months and it is permissible.

The objective of the Shari’ah is that Muslims begin and end the month of Ramadan with assurance and be united in the observance of these blessed times. The objective of the Shari’ah is not that Muslims merely conduct Moon sightings or remain uncertain about their time of ‘Ibadah until the last minute. The astronomical sciences are highly advanced today and more reliable methods are available to know the beginning of the lunar months. On the basis of the principles of the Shari’ah just as the timetable for Salah and Siyam are prepared, it is possible to prepare the calendars for the lunar months and for the beginning and end of Ramadan. This knowledge is now available and can be used. 

A suggested method that fulfills the basic requirement of the Shari’ah is based on two principles: 
a. The new Moon is born. This means that the conjunction must have taken place.
b. The new Moon has become Hilal. Enough time has passed to make it sightable.

The dates and locations, when and where the New Crescent Moon becomes visible after the New Moon phase depends on many factors.  These factors are the geometry of the Sun, Moon, and horizon; the width of the crescent; the Moon's surface illumination, the absorption of the Moon's light and the scattering of the Sun's light in the Earth's atmosphere (temperature, pressure and humidity); and the human optics. Some of these factors can never be put in calculations for practical reasons.

By scientific calculations we know very accurately and definitely when the conjunction has taken place and the new Moon is on the way to become Hilal. It becomes Hilal when it has moved to certain degrees away from the line joining the centers earth and sun, such that the light of the sun can reflect from the moon and can come to the earth.

By scientific knowledge and decades of research correlating observations of Hilal with calculated parameters of the moon we know where on earth the Hilal has formed to be visible. Whether people see it or not depends on many factors (such as clouds, atmospheric pollution, city light pollution, humidity particles in the air, or just being present in the location where it can be seen, etc.). Given these facts, actual sighting would be less reliable than accurate calculations to know definitely that the Hilal is there.

Sighting of the Hilal has generated a lot of controversies and divisions in the Ummah today. In Muslim countries the official bodies make the decision. Some people and some mosques still differ. Countries where Muslim minorities live, there is more division. In Western Europe and North America Moon sighting has become a much more divisive issue. 

The method of determining the beginning of an Islamic month suggested here is based on the principles of the Shari’ah. It complies with the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet –peace be upon him- and it uses our growing and advanced scientific astronomical knowledge. By accepting this method we can unite ourselves and can take the benefit of knowing our important dates in advance. This is an important benefit and it will save us many difficulties that we and our young Muslims (students) go through every year during Ramadan and Eid.

Lets us first examine what scientific knowledge we can use to construct a global Islamic calendar.

• Muslims have attained advanced scientific knowledge and are able to calculate the position of the moon and birth of moon quite accurately.
• Visibility calculations cannot be 100% accurate, as it involves changing atmospheric conditions and human optics.
• Visibility is affected by pressure, temperature, and humidity in the atmosphere and it varies with the eye-sight, experience and age of the observer, city lights, and pollution in the atmosphere.

Therefore, it would be best to use the moon-birth calculation with the probable sightability somewhere on earth, be it a continent, an island, or an ocean.

Three things are needed to construct a global Islamic calendar:

• Moon must have completed its cycle around the earth, which means that new moon must be born.

• Hilal must be formed and must be sightable somewhere on earth (Ittihadul-Mataal’e concept).

• Synchronization with the day convention is desirable so that all Muslims in the world observe religious duties on the same day.

With these considerations a suggested global Islamic calendar is as follows:

• Use astronomical calculation to determine the beginning of the Islamic lunar months with the consideration of the sightability of the Hilal anywhere on the globe. 

• To determine a global Islamic lunar calendar, the most logical conventional point of reference is the International Date Line (IDL). [Why IDL? Is explained later]

• If the moon is born between 0:00 - 12:00 UT the Islamic month begins at sunset of the day everywhere in the world.

• If the moon is born between 12:00 - 23:59 UT the Islamic month begins at sunset of the next day everywhere in the world.

Why IDL is Chosen as a Reference?

• International Dateline is practically used as a reference point for beginning of every day, which has been accepted by All Muslims e.g., to pray Friday prayers all over the world on a day that starts with IDL and ends with IDL. 

• This would synchronize the day convention used by the whole world to the Islamic day, such that every Gregorian dates has one corresponding Islamic date.

• Selecting 0:00 to 12:00 UT means that the moon is born before the day begins at the IDL, and is sightable somewhere in the world on that day.

• If the moon is born between 12:00 to 23:59 UT, it means that the moon is born after the day begins at the IDL, and the monthly cycle of the moon is not completed yet. So, the month begins on the evening of the next day.

• Use of UT makes it easy to compare the New Moon Birth Time that is always given as UT in Almanacs and other observatories web sites. So that any ordinary informed Muslim will be able to make the Islamic calendar without any calculations.
