Winning Entry by Aleena Imran Rizvi (Age 9 Leicester UK)  Eid ul Fitr 1431 - Message from the President of The Council of European Jamaats
Imam Ali (A.S.) said: "O people! Verily this day of yours is the day when the righteous are awarded and the wretched are losers... O Servants of Allah! Verily the minimum reward for those men and women who fasted (during Ramadhan), is an Angel, who calls out to them on the last day of the month of Ramadhan (saying): “O Servants of Allah! Rejoice in the glad tidings that all your previous sins have been forgiven.”
Dearest Members of the Community
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful
On behalf of The Council of European Jamaats, I would like to extend my felicitations and congratulations to each and every one of you on this joyous day of Eid-al-Fitr. It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to this most glorious of months. As Imam Sajjad (as) says in his farewell supplication, "Peace be upon you, the companion who brought comfort to our hearts when coming, thus making us happy, and peace be upon you, who left loneliness when going, thus giving anguish".

Based on the ruling of unity of horizons, and sharing of the night, there is a distinct possibility of sighting the crescent in Africa and America on Thursday, 9 September 2010. Europe shares the night with these regions.
Hilal Advisory Team has achieved itmi'naan over many years on astronomical calculations that meet a certain criteria. The crescent for Shawwal 1431 is positioned well above the criteria in many regions mentioned above.
Please see below relevant ruling of Marhoom Ayatullah Al Khoei
"1741. The first date of a month is not proved by the prediction of the astronomers. However, if a person believes in what they say or is satisfied with it, he should act according to their statement."
http://www.al-islam.org/laws/al-khui/22.htm#20
Based on above 1st Shawwal 1431 will be on Friday 10th September 2010 for followers of Marhoom Ayatullah Al Khoei |
