[1:1] In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[42:21] They follow idols who decree for them religious laws never authorized
by GOD. If it were not for the predetermined decision, they would have been
judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors have incurred a painful
retribution
Peace be upon you.
The Quran is the best hadith which came out directly from the Prophet.
[39:23] GOD has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent,
and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence
their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for
GOD's message. Such is GOD's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be
guided). As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them.
The messenger of God preaches the sunnah of God as laid out in the Quran.
[33:62] This is GOD's eternal system, and you will find that GOD's sunnah is
unchangeable.
[48:23] Such is GOD's sunnah throughout history, and you will find that GOD's
sunnah is unchangeable.
God Almighty and His messenger detail out the ruling on Ramadan in the
following verses of the Quran.
[7:52] We have given them a scripture that is fully detailed, with (1)
knowledge, (2) guidance, and (3) mercy for the people who believe
[2:183] O you believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for
those before you, that you may attain salvation.
[2:184] Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or
traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can
fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for
each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is
better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew.
[2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing
guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you
who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may
substitute the same number of the other days. God wishes for you convenience,
not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify God for
guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
[2:186] When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I answer their
prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and believe in
Me, in order to be guided.
[2:187] Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the
nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the
keepers of their secrets. God knew that you used to betray your souls, and He
has redeemed you, and has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse
with them, seeking what God has permitted for you. You may eat and drink until
the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night
at dawn. Then, you shall fast until sunset. Sexual intercourse is prohibited
if you decide to retreat to the masjid (during the last ten days of Ramadan).
These are God's laws; you shall not transgress them. God thus clarifies His
revelations for the people, that they may attain salvation.
[97:1] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny. [97:2] How awesome is the
Night of Destiny!
[97:3] The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months. [97:4] The
angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry out
every command.
[97:5] Peaceful it is until the advent of the dawn.
God and His messenger never issue any religious ruling on observing Eid Fitr
at the conclusion of Ramadan.
[6:70] You shall disregard those who take their religion in vain, as if it is
a social function, and are totally absorbed in this worldly life. Remind with
this (Quran), lest a soul may suffer the consequences of its evil earnings. It
has none beside GOD as a Lord and Master, nor an intercessor. If it could offer
any kind of ransom, it would not be accepted. They suffer the consequences of
the evil works they earn; they have incurred hellish drinks, and a painful
retribution because of their disbelief.
Following idols who decree religious ruling on behalf of God is a serious
offense as dictated by God Almighty and His messenger.
[42:21] They follow idols who decree for them religious laws never authorized
by GOD. If it were not for the predetermined decision, they would have been
judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors have incurred a painful
retribution
Thank you and may God guide all of us,

Assalamu'alaikum wr wb,
For many centuries Muslims all over the world celebrate the Eid in different
day. Saudi, Iran, Malay, Indonesia celebrate Eid in different days. Even the
countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei who live side by side still
celebrating in different day.
It shows that Muslims are not united. Muslims are divided.
Our prophet says that if a good Muslim see hilal (moon), then all countries
should break their fast and the Eid has come.
If all Muslim scholars from all over the world united and work together to find
out when the Eid come, then Muslim could celebrate the Eid together just like
the Christian celebrate Natal on December 25th.
Wassalam
