Dear Brother

Assalamu Alaikum

So many computer programs of astronomy are available in this IT world. Hijra Date converters are also available in internet with agreement of one day error. And now you also going to make another one. Among the availability of all these software you people say that a practical calendar is not possible in Islam as per Qur’an and Sunnah. Then what is use of your graduation and knowledge in astronomy. Unfortunately you will be a graduate in astronomy within five years to prove that a calendar is never possible in Islam and to state this is what Allah and His Rasool (SAWA) taught you trough Qur’an and Sunnah.

The site of Paul Carlisle is enough for kids like me as Rasool told we are illiterate and do not calculate. We don’t want the phases of moon in minutes and seconds. We need the moon phases as Dates for mankind according to Qur’an and Sunnah. The minutes and seconds of the moon phases using the people who are astronomers and researchers. All Muslims are not astronomers and no need to be an astronomer to practice their prayers and fasting.

For a Muslim who is compelled to take his prayers and fasting in proposed time without any excuse except he is ill or in journey. And Allah has implemented His signs for timings which are The Sun and moon and he has given ten fingers as the basics of Mathematics to every body (kindly pardon me who handicapped). These are enough for a lay man to observe his time for prayers and fasting etc. and this is the basics of astronomy and mathematics.  

US Navel Observatory says that First moon visibility cannot compute exactly it depends many factors. But the educated people like you and your Web site scholars are confusing the common Muslims people with erroneous knowledge of visibility curves.

I had sent you the reactions of poor Muslims who were suffered very much from these kinds of websites of your scholars. Now you are advocating those websites, so you should have to answer the questions of the people which were in my earlier mails.

I will wait Insha Allah till 2012 for your software if a proper calendar does not exists in Muslim world according to Quran and Sunnah before your time of graduation.

So Now you may kindly take fasting of Arafa on Friday and celebrate Eid ul Azha on Saturday according to Ummul Qura because we were spread from the Mother of Cities to all over the world.

I have attached some thing special for you. Kindly find it and better you stop your advocating.

Eid Mubarak

Wssalam
