Muslim gaf: how does ramadan work for people north of the arctic circle work during the summer months when the sun is always up? I was always curious about this. Are they exempt?
No eid yet!!!
I'm most likely going to have to work during Eid.
Oh well. Really hasn't been a festive holiday for me since I was a kid.
Pictures of food me and my moms made
2 Trays:
Top Tray, Spicy Potatoes (same mix as chicken)
Bottom Tray, Chicken:
Masoor Daal:
Basmati Rice (Zebra is the best brand, pricey as fuck, but it's the best):
There we go!
Ack that sucks to hear, have you tried to apply for a 1-day leave?
Apparently we're not sure over here too XD.
I still think it'll be Thrusday though.
Usual Moon-Fighting. The Mufti of Australia pulled a swifty and suddenly changed to calculation, informing everyone with an announcement this evening. Chaos ensued.
No moon sighted tonight anywhere in Australia, so Eid is Friday for me
Nothing gets on my nerves more than moonfights ughh. Why does this p roblem plague only the west including Australia? I never even heard of these problems in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, etcUsual Moon-Fighting.

La hawl wa la quwata ela bilallah.
My mother told me one of our distant relatives passed away, so she'll be going to Bahrain on Friday with my dad for the funeral/to be with the relatives there.
As I understand it, he was very old, and passed away peacefully.
We were watching the 'Khatem Al Quran' on Saudi Arabia channel, which was very beautiful and I prayed for him during it.
These Duaa are always moving, I'll try to find a Youtube video of it once it's up.

Eid is Thursday in the UK apparently...
Moon sighting fight!!!
We've been told no moon sighting the UK, so Friday Eid. Next door neighbours are following Saudi Arabias announcement though.

As someone who knows very little about ramadan. I'd have thought there would be a more modern way of calculating the date for eid? What am I missing?
There are a couple of schools of thought on the matter. Some say calculations are legitimate. Others say, the moon must be sighted by the naked eye. The big mosques that have links to mecca, e.g. East London Mosque, I believe they follow Mecca as well.
Alright, time to plow on
Happy Eid for all of you
Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world. During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spent with loved ones. At this years White House Iftar, I was proud to spend time with some of the many American Muslims whose contributions enrich our democracy and strengthen our economy. Many of us have had the opportunity to break fast with our Muslim friends and colleaguesa tradition that reminds us to be grateful for our blessings and to show compassion to the less fortunate among us, including millions of Syrians who spent Ramadan displaced from their homes, their families, and their loved ones. To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr, the United States is providing an additional $195 million in food aid and other humanitarian aid, bringing our humanitarian contribution to the Syrian people to over $1 billion since the crisis began. For millions of Americans, Eid is part of a great tapestry of Americas many traditions, and I wish all Muslims a blessed and joyful celebration. Eid Mubarak.
