Remember!
1. In 1984 all Religious Muslim groups and Muslim Ambassadors agreed to follow a signed policy for Islamic festivals.
2. In 1992 the Mosque Committees of Rochdale signed an agreement to follow a policy for Islamic festivals.
3. In 1993 the Mosques Committees of Manchester signed an agreement to follow a policy for Islamic festivals.
4. In 1996 the Union Of Muslim Organisations (U.M.O) held a series of conferences in different cities in the UK. Ulma-E-kram agreed on one particular policy.
5. In 1998 Pakistan Consulate (Passport Office) in Manchester tried to get an agreement but failed to persuade the Religious Scholars.
All their Efforts were in vain. What Next?
Q1: Do you think that "Moon sighting" in order to determine "EID" festival, or start of "RAMADHAN" on one day locally (at least) is a problem?
Q2: Do you think that this problem is and has been created by some ULMA-e-AKRAM (The learned people of ISLAM) to suit their own purposes here in Britain?
To give your views please could you contact MRC by writing or e-mailing to the above address and show your solidarity for the benefit of Muslim Ummah. Also if you can help in any way please let us know (Thankyou).
(Note: After public relations, community meetings will be held in different counties. If the problem is still not solved then a legal remedy will be tried by going to the British Courts. Insha-Allah)
Pirzada Sardar Ahmed Qadri has agreed to become the legal and religious advisor to MRC.
