I know sxb, makes me wonder tho is because Suadiya celebrated? Istagfrullah tho...but some brothas were saying today the masjids that celebrated eid today were salafiya and financed by "wahabiya"......but what matters is they saw the moon.....and saudi does extensive searching for moon....but we go with our local masjids since deen is easy. Eid mubarak. I think it is more complicated than tht saxib. The mosques who celebarated on Fri are those who follow Makka moon sightings and those who are celabrating today (sat) are those who say we didnt see the moon in our country. Our brothers and sisaters in Aus and NZ have it difficult because its already fajar (or nearly fajar) when its Isha in Saudiya. Those in the UK who are Eiding on Sat for example are adament that the moon sighting should be sighted with the naked eye and in that particular country (ie UK) as was the case many moons ago (excuse the pun). That would be OK if we were in the year 1900 for example but today we have instant telecommunications and we know within minutes what the case is in Saudiya. Makka is more than just the place we face for salaat. It is the focal point of Islam, the birth place of Islam and should be used as such to determine Ramadan/Eid dates. This is the view of most Islamic countries but some have always tended to be different. There some families in the UK who have brothers/sisters/fathers/mum/aunts and uncles celebrating on different days even though they live on the same street! I'm glad to say Somalis there follow Saudiya timings. This brings up the question of UNITY within the Ummah. If you here an Imam talk of unity in Friday khutbas then celebrate Eid a day later than Saudiya then I'm affraid questions need to be asked of him. There was a big split in the UK where very heated exchanges were made in live phone ins on the Islam channel who have been expressing the need to follow the Saudiya moon sightings for the sake of unity and treating Makka as THE focal point of Islam and not just as qibla. Those who are celebrating a day late, what are they going to do when it comes to the day of Arafat in 70 days time? Are they going to fast/celebrate/make their sacrifice/perform hajj a day later? It it dissapointing really that we shout unity on a weekly basis but cant agree on when we should all celebrate Eid together. Eid wanaagsan SOLers!

Khalaf, yes we are Eiding today and so is most of the Muslims around the world.

Sign in Japanese park: Keep Japan green don’t burn the fire chief A sign on a construction site once read 'DO NOT MONKEY WITH THE EQUIPMENT' Literal translations from Somali to English anyone?

Their problem is that they're attempting to argue with unsympathetic minds and interviewers/ panellists wishing to widen the scope of the original discussion. BANG! Or plain and simple ignorance/arrogance.I call it 'dancing'

^^You guys are too far ahead I think. How many hours ahead of Saudi are you? Its 7.40am and just back in. Very nice morning and the weather is great. Eid mubarak.

You would be surprised just how much listening to the radio in the mornings/evenings could teach

A good idea and very noble of the Shiekhs.

JB called me earlier. I told him it was Eid and the guy became very happy. Hargaisa oo dhan ayu hada u sheekeenaya,,,

^^LoL Early morning saxib. I will pray outside IA.

LoL We were invited last week and the amount of food consumed/wasted was just too much. I was sat next a man who claimed to be a Suffi!

^^Gerrard was playing fine in the middle until his recent dip in form. Pennant has been doing OK on the right (still a cr*p player). The real reason we have not been playing is because of the lest side rather than the right. Riise is not a winger and the quicker Kewell gets fit the better then we have a balanced team.

I was driving and heard the Tarawix prayer on the radio in Abu Dhabi. Not Eid tomorrow I thought until I went to the dry cleaner who told me it is eid tomorrow. Been running around shopping and getting my white khamiis ready since,,, Eid Mubarak ya mustamiciin al kiraam,,,,

^^we will wait and see saxib, we will wait and see,,,,

I have a feeling its tomorrow meaning rushing out and doing some last minute shopping. I wouldnt mind another day of Ramadan.

Ahh, Sunday and Monday off making it a 4 day weekend,,,,,,,,,

Well with invites you never know. I'll stay away from reer Sharjah though. Those people over-eat!

^^You and your hi-jacker friends. Eid Mubarak by the way. Look out for the new moon tomorrow night.

Alot of black americans who embrace Islam grew up in one parent families and that urge for being part of a family contributes to their initial steps into Islam. What a family to come into. Hip Hop has been the music of rebellion/protest at injustices or lack of govnt support. This then sadly became a drug/gang/cars/women thing. A Muslim MC may have garnered more respect in the early days but today it seems to be a case of money and fame first. Some of those rappers above are very talented (Mos Def, Common, Black Thought) and they could use that talent in a better way. Eve, Freeway and Beenie Siegal are from Philly where the largest proportion of black muslims are concentrated.

Talk about a cyber get togther :rolleyes:

^^True but your fans are quiet and enjoy their Prawn sandwiches (just like Chelsea) and the best song you have had for a long time was 'oo aa oo aa CANTONAAA!'

^^I hope Fergie gets the sack!
