When is Ramadan ?

Posted by: BamBam In: Religion| a post by BamBam

So the new moon scientifically starts on thursday night (the 19th) that means Friday should be the first day of Ramadan, but since the Shiites are starting their fast on Friday how much would you want to bet that Saudi is going to falsely declare it on Saturday ? And that would be after finally agreeing to allow the use of the telescope in sighting the new moon, 300 years after its invention, and what are they going to do about it ? ignore it while of course !
Now whats the word that i’m looking for that would describe the situation ….. oh it’s PETTY !

Happy ramandandan.

well, I have much ‘vulgarer’ words to describe it but I’ll refrain. It’s Ramadan!

In the US, it was the same political and national origin games year after year until the Fiqh Council decided astronomical calculations as a dependable means of determining the beginning of the lunar month.

happy Ramadaning.

The new Moon in 2009 is on “Aug 20 10:01″ but nobody can see the moon today because it sets before sunset..it is possible to be seen on 21

Ramadan Kareem :)
