The author very nicely explains that having more than one Eids is just a recent phenomenon. It started only few years ago after the demise of Usmani Khilafat. Having different local sighting and Eids was introduced deliberately into Muslims to divide us.
The honourable classical Fiqh scholars like Imam Hanifah, Shafai etc, all talk about ONE Moon & ONE Eid or Ramadhan. The concept was implemented very successfully throughout Muslim world; Indians and Arabs had the same Moon date. This fact is proven if you read history books. The author provides clear Islamic evidences in the favour of global moon sighting for all Ummah. Unity as one nation under one leadership is the Answer. No, he is not advocating for United Nations of Muslims – we are only ONE NATION, so we want “United State of Muslims”.

We are one nation from our ideology; we must have one system & one leader. insha Allah.
A very interesting article. Thanks for sharing but I wonder what an individual can do in this situation. I know we have been doing wrong but whom to follow in this case? According to the article who so ever sights the moon first should be followed. But in our case if I follow Saudi Arabia or any other country(Sighting the moon first) then I will be alone doing so and rest of our friends and families will be following the local sighting committee and by the end of the day I will be isolated, celebrating my OWN Eid :).

Masha Allah, This is good to see that you liked the article. You are right; you will be alone on occasions. I have been following this opinion since I have known it. I am not alone, there is a group of people I know that do the same. And there are many. It is difficult to go against the family or the society, but at least I am satisfied I am following something right. In fact, there are many other issues where I am alone.
