?? Very slight chance, month may start on this day.

go here to learn more The website of propaganda

ICNA New York will celebrate the Eid on Wednesday, February 12, inshaAllah.

[evad]

Where is the 9-11 Destroy America day?

[antivenom]

The Surah and Ayat for 14:23 is:

And those who have Believed and done righteous deeds will be admitted into Gardens, flow underneath them rivers, dwellers therein under permission of their Nourisher-Sustainer. Their Greeting therein (will be) Salâm.

[PaulJ]

When is the "Hajj" (sp) I keep hearing about?

[YOMO]

Excuse me, I didn't see International Glass Day to be celebrated in Iraq.

[antivenom]

That was a few years ago...I am more concerned about February and this coming week...I will find the other calendars.

[humblegunner]

I didn't see "remedial personal hygeine" day...

[antivenom]

Hajj will begin Feb 11 to Feb 13...this year of Hajj is in the year of 1423....we know the terrorists enjoy symbolism...could 1423 become 14th day of Feb maybe at 3am or pm or possibly the 3 is for 2003? I have also found other stuff related to 1423...a passage from the Quran and from Proverbs.

WE ALL KNOW that 2/14/03 will be the final day...UN will make its decision and the USA will move forward with or without their approval...

Proverbs 14:23, which says 'living by God's principles promotes a nation to greatness, violating those principles brings a nation to shame.'"

[Helms]

How can they get any serious work done in the Mideast w/ all that time off? What if the Islamic members of the USA wanted these days and added the existing holidays-Christian, etc.

Islam is a clever religion which appears geared towards upsetting any rival secular government. It is religion which carries a subliminal subtext:..militance in the face of modernity, science and secular government.

[antivenom]

As I recall every Islamic country except possibly for Turkey which happens to be the only democracy...is a third world country that are STILL fascinated with in-door plumbing. No coincidence they don't need days to produce...they are and have been leeches of knowledge and produce nothing.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Oooooh, how about the 13th, which is 520 days after 911? ;-)

[isthisnickcool]

One of the more interesting site is the Ask the Imam site. Which for some reason I can only get to from googles cache. But the searches seem to work. BTW, it's a real site. Not a spoof.

[canuck_conservative]

I thought the hajj was already going on - what were all those pictures of crowds in Mecca I saw on TV the last few days?

[antivenom]

The first 10 days of Zul Hijjah: why they matter

Even for those not performing the pilgrimage, Hajj, the first ten days of this month are considered very sacred and a time for increased reflection, seeking Allah's forgiveness, doing good and various other forms of worship.

Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) has said about the first ten days of Zul Hijjah: There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing (Bukhari).

So sacred are the first ten days of Zul Hijjah that Allah swears an oath by them when He says in the Quran: "By the dawn; by the ten nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Swearing an oath by something indicates its importance and great benefit.

OK....so when you look at the Calendar above...you will see the first ten days in what we know as February...the FIRST day of the 10 days is marked with the ZH.

[antivenom]

Actually Hajj is a very social gathering...very Mardi Gras like...many people get togther estimates this year 1.5 million...therefore you will see alot of activity...but look at the calendar...BTW NYC will celebrate the Eid on Feb 12 2003 here in the USA. Remember have to account for dateline day change...so they are always a day ahead of us...

The Islamic year 1424 will begin on March 4th 2003.

[Ann Khan]

YIKES. Most countries put the date before the month, so Friday will be 14/2/03.

[humblegunner]

The Islamic year 1424 will begin on March 4th 2003.

And mysteriously ends three weeks later on Thursday the 27th..
