Dear Brothers in Islaam
Assalaamu Alaikkum wa Rahmathullaahi wa Barakaathu hu
"Al urjoonal qadeem" (last visible phase for a month as described in verse 36:39)
of Ramdhaan 1436 was seen at many places in the world including India,
Indonesia etc,m at Fajr, yesterday (Wednesday). It was about 4 degrees
above the horizon and the horns were at 5 & 8 positions. It was very thin.
It wasl not seen today (Thursday). Today is the Day of Conjunction.
This month of Randhaan was of 30 days (from Wednesday to Thursday) and we have
counted 29 visible moon-phases and today's phase is invisible. Hence, 30 days
of Ramdhaan were completed today.
Tomorrow (Friday) is the 1st of Shawwal 1436 (Eidul Eitre 1436) for all in the world
and all Muslims must celebrate Eid on Friday. All must abstain from fasting on Friday as
it is haraam.
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
Shawwal 1436 is on Friday (17th July 2015) as 30 days were completed today
& request Muslims all over the world to celebrate Eid on Friday and request
all not to fast on Friday - the Day of Eidul Fitre (17th July 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
