All the Ulema are respectable, and EVERYONE has a right to practice what he believes.
ALL Ahadith are 100% respectable. BUT they have a context as well that needs to be considered. If we read the Holy Quran & Ahadith collectively, it asks for unity & allows to address the challenges to the Muslims, especially in the West by science & technology through Ijmah & Ijtehad. Like NOW we use Aeroplan, Internet, Mobile, Radio, TV, Loudspeaker, etc. which were denounced EARLIER by the ULEMA.
Referring to Hadith to witness moon with the naked eye was at the time when there was not much science & technology. So, they based their decisions on the available info & tools. Whereas the Ulema who follow the Astronomy are also the hardcore Muslims and do the interpretation of the Ahadith in Arabic in it's true sense as it’s their native language.
But some of the Ulema interpret this Hadith & ignore many other relevant Aayat & Ahadith which address the challenges in modern age. They ignore the Hadith that says “we don’t read, write & calculate”. So, given their circumstances & lack of knowledge about astronomy, witnessing the moon by eye was the only option then. At the same time, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) also insisted to LEARN, even you have to go to China.
There are disputes within families and friends. Rather it’s worse in INLAWS, where son, daughter, father, mother, son/daughter-in-law are praying Eid on different days. But we don’t have the courage to resolve this division. If we can’t sacrifice our personal relationships & affiliations, then we have no right to talk disgracefully against MOLVIS in gatherings on Eid. It’s GHEEBAT & MUNAFEQAT. So, we have to QUESTION our ULEMA & raise voice for 1 Eid in Australia to unite families & friends for EID together. If we don’t ACT NOW, our NEW GENERATION will tear apart in a few years, setting us responsible for not resolving this DIVISION. It should be NOW or NEVER.
If you Agree with this campaign, please share it with all your families, friends, YOUTH & other Muslims to unite for Eid on 1 Day in Australia*🇦🇺
Hope to have Eid on 1 day in Australia Insha Allah!
