So let me get this right.


You knowingly, for 11 months out 12, sin by qabyaalad and insulting people's qabiils, but for 1 "special" month you stop, and that makes you a good muslim?

you can be a grammar nazi but your horizon will stay small!

didnt i say a time of reflection? a chance to make a change

another reason allah is the one who writes down your deeds not the recording angels

"Allah will write for him/her a million good deeds and erase a million of ones bad deeds"

My horizon is small because I know I'm not perfect and for 12 months out of 12 I try my best to be a decent person. But your horizon is wide because for 1 month your a good boy and for the other 11 months you sin like maxaa ka galay.

"angels writing my deeds?? Pfff who cares :childplease: "

Some countries and diaspora follow the moon sighting in Saudia. It works but that's not a rule.

The moon has to be sighted from mecca for us to know for sure

Yemen and Iraq can sight the moon but Saudi is the only one that controls mecca and they're the only one that matter

The moon is sighted anywhere in Saudi not just Mecca. Also that's not a rule.

It's not but Saudi sightings are the most reliable and trustworthy

also Saudi,Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the UAE didn't announce the moon sightings yet

Lebanon,Yemen,Iraq and Turkey announced it Ramadan on Friday

That's 4v5 so which should I believe at this point
