Saudi Declaring Eid Before The Moon Sighting ???

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"O you who believe! If a Faasiq (liar — evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done"

[al-Hujuraat 49:6]

The reason why this verse was revealed:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent al-Waleed ibn 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'eet to Banu al-Mustaliq, to collect the zakaah from them. When news of that reached them they rejoiced, and they came out to meet the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). When al-Waleed heard that they had come out to meet him, he went back to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allaah, Banu al-Mustaliq have withheld the zakaah."

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) became very angry at that, and whilst he was thinking of launching a campaign against them, the delegation came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allaah, we were told that your envoy returned after coming only half way, and we were afraid that he came back because he received a message from you saying that you were angry with us. We seek refuge with Allaah from the anger of Allaah and the anger of His Messenger."

Then Allaah excused them in His Book and revealed the words (interpretation of the meaning):

"O you who believe! If a Faasiq (liar — evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done"

The Lawgiver issued a stern warning against passing on all that one hears. It was narrated that Hafs ibn 'Aasim said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears." Narrated by Muslim in al-Muqaddimah, 6; Saheeh al-Jaami, 4482.

Al-Hasan al-Basri said: "The believer reserves judgement until the matter is proven."

Finally: we advise everyone to verify matters and not to rush to pass on news until they are sure that it is true, even if the news is good news, because if it becomes apparent that the one who passed it on is mistaken, he will lose credibility before the people... and anyone who bears a grudge towards him will use it against him. May Allaah help us all to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.

And Allaah knows best.

The moon does not really exist.

The problem of the muslim scholars today is that they cannot use modern technology for Islamic mathers. So we are always delayed in corporating modern tools in establishing like in this case: Announcing the day of Eid. I hope Saudi will not make this mistake to announce the day of Arafah as they did several years ago.

subhan'Allaah!

before the end of ramadhaan i received news that saudi had abandoned the moon sighting and had declared eid wednesday... i did not believe it. why? because this "news" implied that k.s.a uses astronomical calculations to determine the islamic months, which i know to be an out right lie and fabrication.

then after that, a few days before the end of ramadhaan, i hear that saudi has decleared it for tuesday and rumours started of how saudi did it wrong... subhan'Allaah,

These kind of messages are from either kids who don't know better or people who are trying to cause trouble

Jazakallahu Khayra Akhi this is a good reminder for those of us who forward anything without reading it or verifiying if it is true.

god is the only way, no god but god. . no other god but the only god. muslims will see. it is sad we fight over religion, we will all be judged in the end, so let this be the way not blood and wars. so love they neighbor no matter who they are or who they believe in right? dose the kuran say this? dose the kuran talk about killing or peace? no god would want the blood that islam seems to want for all christains to die and israel to parish,
