It has been brought to our attention that yesterday’s message has been misinterpreted by some that only following local moon sighting for determination of important Islamic days is the Sunnah. We are thankful to the brothers for bringing it to our attention.

AlHamdoLilla, we strongly believe that all methods used in determining important Islamic days are approved by respected Islamic Scholars and we have great respect for those opinions.

Please don’t forget our Muslim brother and sisters suffering in different parts of world. Please remember them in your Duas and Pray to Allah SWT for their peace, safety and prosperity.
