UAE Moon Sighting Committee declares June 29, 2014 as the first day of Ramadan
The first of Ramadan will be on Sunday, June 29, 2014, according to the UAE Moon Sighting Committee. Dr Hadef Jua’an Al Daheri, Minister of Justice, said after the committee’s meeting at the Judiciary Department in Abu Dhabi, that after contacting neighbouring countries and following all Sharia procedures to site the new crescent of Ramadan, the crescent was not seen on Friday night, hence, Saturday will be the completion of the month of Sha’aban and Sunday, June 29, 2014, will be the first day of Ramadan.
Dr. Al Daheri extended sincere greetings on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan,to President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, their brothers Their Highnesses the Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates, and General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
He also congratulated the people of the UAE and Muslims all across the globe.
They’re encouraged to do a big bombing at the end of it.
I’m going to celebrate with a bacon sandwich...
Abstain from eating and sex...
Goats throughout the Middle East rejoice on both counts.
Pig Roast !
When we were on cruise this spring, my wife and I attended a Bible study. At the end of the study, we gathered up some Bibles that had been borrowed from the cruise ship. I returned them to one of the cruise staff who looked Indonesian. He said that he was Muslim and couldn’t touch the Bibles and showed me where the Bibles went. Odd superstition. What silliness.
And cases of ice cold beer.
Time to buy more ammo.
Oh goody ...
I’m with you. Except, I already have a couple of racks of baby-back ribs marinating (think I’ll do those, instead).
Loverly to be feasting during Ramadamn.
Bacon and eggs on Sunday for sure. Get the day started off right!
I am going to prepare and properly cook spare ribs and I am going to feed bacon to my dog while her rear is facing east toward Washington Dc. or Mecca. Same same.
It just won’t feel like Ramadan until
*** BOOM ***
aah that’s better.
If it’s based on cycles of the moon, they need a Committee? Spend ten bucks on an old farmers almanac. And you’ll get planting schedules as well.
Idiots.
