November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

That's right Sis.   I tell you what;   in those places where Ramadan 1st was observed on May 5 have announced Eid on June 4.   But we here began Ramadan on May 6.  If we observe 1st of Shawal today on June 4, we would have observed only 29 fasts.  So I am fasting today as my last fast of the blessed month in 2019.

Actually I already started fasting and then at six in the morning when I checked the internet I found out about the confusion.  So I'll just continue my last fast today, Insh'Allah.

What about you folks?

Exactly the same Sister.  My husband is fasting today stating as you mentioned. It seems our scholars here find nothing wrong in reducing the 30 days of Ramadan into 29.  They do that almost every year by starting late and then dropping the 30th fast.

We're fasting today.  Sister Zeynab is right.  Those places that are celebrating Eid al Fitr today, June 4, started on May 5 citing the moon for 1st Ramadan.  But our jurists here started late on May 6 and now they want to finish with those who started May 5.  I agree with you, this 29-day cycle is getting too common because of the miscalculation or plain lethargy of our jurists.

To be honest, in all Islamic institutes located in the west, they're very particular about observing Eid-al-Fitr on the same day as in the Middle-East.  But they don't necessarily follow the commencement of the month of Ramadan on the same day.   Thus, Muslim communities in the west very often end up observing 29 fasts.    For e.g. this year, in ME Ramadan 1st was May 5 and Shawal 1st (Eid Fitr) on June 4.  That makes 30 fasts from May 5 to June 3.   But those who started on May 6th fell short by one fast.  It really shouldn't be that way.  I mean, missing a fast which is obligatory (as clearly spelt out in the Noble Quran) for the sake of a non-Quranic celebration is something I have a big problem with.

Spot on brother.  I second you on that to the fullest.  This is exactly what keeps happening here, year after year.   Little effort to start Ramadan on time but in a rush to end it with those who started earlier  ....... trying to grab the cake and eat it too.  They may think that missing one fast is a trifle.  In the Sight of Allah it maybe quite a serious lapse because it's something they could have avoided if they were more careful.
