Why Do Muslims Differ On The Start Of Ramadan? | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally

Описание: Dr. Safiyyah Ally and Dr. Shabir Ally explore a question that resurfaces every year and often sparks lively debate in families and group chats: why Muslims sometimes begin Ramadan, and celebrate Eid, on different days. They explain that Islamic months follow the lunar cycle and traditionally start when the new crescent moon is sighted, a process affected by weather, geography, time zones, and how widely a community accepts reported sightings. Dr. Shabir outlines the three main approaches Muslims follow today: relying on local moon sighting, accepting sightings from anywhere in the world, or using astronomical calculations that can predict dates in advance and make planning far easier for schools, workplaces, and governments. He notes that different readings of prophetic teachings have led to these sincere differences, and that many communities are gradually moving toward calculated calendars as a practical extension of Islamic principles. They conclude with a reminder that while unity is ideal, respect and patience are essential, and Muslims should avoid turning these differences into sources of conflict.
