Grand Mosque... How come Eid on Saturday???. Hajj Festival is for Hajj, in Makkah All Muslims Celebrating Hajj Festival on Friday. Saturday is Sinhala Festival not for Muslims.

Day of Arafah is Thursday 25th October 2012. Please fast on that day. Insha Allah the sins of last year and the next year will be fogiven.
N.B This does not mean that one can continue to commit sin in the upcoming year, rather it portrays the virtue of fasting on the day of ‘Arafah, and the blessings to be obtained therein.

Not sure why some are fussy, respect the decision of the learned Ulema, the Sri Lankan Muslim scholars are most sought after in overseas because they are honest & good, Some people learn the religion on google search & give religious verdicts, they will have to answer to Allah on the Day of Judgement Insha Allah

Never kill "innocent animals" denotes we must not eat meat/fish/seafood or even eggs( are supposedly chicks).. U must be a vegan. If u are not a vegan, then u must be foolish to make that statement:"Please don't kill innocent animals on this day"

This just goes to show that all these are man made stuff of no real significance, Just to get the people under control. That is what religions are all about. They put the fear of hell as an excuse. If people are good only because of the fear of hell, it says so little of humans. One must be good for goodness sake and not for eternal prize promised after death.

wel i am not sure if the the Ulema's (Religious schols) decision is manipulated in anyway. but normally when Saudi Arabia sites the moon it will take another day for it to apear in our time zone.. cos we are before them.. so if they see it 1st then we have to wait for the next day. via DM Android App

Was observing Haj festival scheduled according to Dr. Mervin's calendar so that he can intervene in rituals involving animal sacrifice?

If Saudi celebrates on 26th then we should celebrate the next day, it is in tradition, it is nothing to do with fear of hell fire etc. It is futile to argue which fear is good, for me fear of death is fear of God therefore not to lie for a material gain. If law is static and divine the crime rate would not be so high! If there is no clear definion of good and bad, overnight, laws are passed to reverse good into bad vice versa.
