The same theme of unity is described in the Holy Qura'an:
"And obey Allah and His Messenger, and dispute not with one another,
otherwise you will showtimidity, and your tied strength will depart
from you, and be patient." 8:46 (Sura Al-Anfal, Verse 46)
Unity never means to disregard and disrespect Shariah and in the name
of unity, observe Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, and Eid Al-Adha whenever we
please. Observing Eid without any evidence or starting Ramadan
withoutevidence of Shariah so that the unity would be maintained is
completely against the rulings of the Qura'an and Hadith.
We humbly request our Muslim brothers to not waste their 'Ibaadat
(Rituals). Please do not ignore the obviously clearcommands and
injunctions of Allah and his Apostle and become guilty in the eyes of
Allah and his Apostle. When you see the Moon, start the month; and if
you can not see the Moon (for any reason), wait for an acceptable
witness according Shariah. If the witness is up to the standards of
the rules of Shariah, then the new month starts. Otherwise, as the
Noble Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) instructed, complete the thirty (30)
days. Saudi Arabia's prominent scholar Abdul Azeez bin Baaz himself,
in his Fatawa (Verdict), ordered:
"The most trusted and authentic source of Moon sighting for a town is
a local one." [Further, he says,] "Some people think that the whole
world should follow the Moon sighting of Mecca, Saudi Arabia and make
it the base of their Ramadan and Eid judgment. However, in the pure
formof Shariah, there is neitherany proof of it, nor is there any
origin to this." (Al-Baath Al-Islami, Zel-Hijjah 1399 Hijri)
We surrender ourselves inthe supplication to Allah: May He give the
Muslims the ability to obey and follow the pure form of Shariah to the
fullest. Aameen; Bejahe Habeebihee Sayyedil Mursaleen (Peace Be
UponHim)./
