Dear Brothers in Islaam
Assalaamu Alaikkum wa Rahmathullaahi wa Barakaathu hu
The month of Dul Qaidha started on Saturday (15 Aug 2015) and the first waxing hilaal
was seen SETTING on that Saturday evening (after the day-light part of the 1st day was
over). This month had 30 days and ended on Sunday (13 Sep 2015).
There was a Solar eclipse on Sunday (13 Sep 2015) and as Solar eclipse
marks the ened of a lunar month, Dul Qaidha 1436 must end on that
Sunday and the new month Dul Hijjah must start from today - Monday
(14 Sep 2015).
ITTAQULLAH ! All muslims must observe the sacredness of the dates, especially
the four Huroom months. Starting and ending of all months especially the Huroom months
be strictly followed. Otherwise, one may commit the sin of "Nassie".
As per the moon-phases which show the dates for Hajj (Noble Qur'aan 2:189)
today (Monday) is the 1st of Dul Hijjah 1436 and accordingly the Day of Arafat is on
Tuesday (22 Sep) & Eidul Ad'ha is on Wednesday (23 Sep 2015) for
all Muslims in the world.
Considering all the above-mentioned facts, we take the following swearing:
We, Members of Hijri Committee of India do
hereby bear witness that
there is no Deity worthy of worship except Almighty Allah and that
Muhammed (Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) is His Messenger and Slave
("Ash Hadu An Laa Ilaa ha IllAllah Wa Ash Hadu An Na Muhammadan
Abduhu Wa Rasooluhu") and
we, Members of Hijri Committee of India further bear witness that 1st of
Dul Hijjah 1436 is on Monday (14 Sep 2015) as 30 days of Dul Qaidah was
completed with a Solar eclipse on Sunday (13 Sep 2015)
& further swear and bear witness that the Day of Arafat 1436 must be on
Tuesday (22 Sep 2015) & the Eidul Ad'ha 1436 is on Wednesday (23 Sep 2015).
We request Muslims all over the world to celebrate Eid on Wednesday (23 Sep 2015)
We request the King of Saudi Arabia, the Custodian of the Holy Masjids & the Supreme
Judicial Council of Saudi Arabia to declare the dates of Hajj as:
Yaumu Tarviah (8th Dul Hijjah 1436) on Monday (21st Sep 2015)
Yaumul Arafat (9th Dul Hijjah 1436) on Tuesday (22 nd Sep 2015)
Yaummu Nahar (10th Dul Hijjah 1436) on Wednesday (23rd Sep 2015)
May Almighty Allah forgive all our sins and may He, the Almighty accept our good deeds
and reward all of us immensely in this world as well as in the Hereafter and
provide all of us with a place in Jannathul Firdouse. Aameen
Wa Salaam
