Bismillah,
Asalamualikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Whenever you sight the new moon (of the month of Ramadan) observe fast, and when you sight it (the new moon of Shawwal) break it, and if the sky is cloudy for you, then observe fast for thirty days. (Related by Muslim Hadith # 2378).
Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates; The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, once mentioned Ramadan and said, "Do not begin the fast until you see the new moon, and do not break the fast (at the end of Ramadan) until you see it. If the new moon is obscured from you, then work out (when it should be)." (Al-Muwatta, Hadith #18.1.1 & 1.2)
A great confusion is being forwarded by unqualified organizations (without naming them May Allah guide us all) and self declared scholars who are instigating Muslims to break from Islamic tradition and sayings of our beloved Prophet sallaho alahi wasalam.
We as Muslims are bound to sight the moon as is the tradition in ALL MUSLIM COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD without exception. We challenge anyone to bring forth any country that does not have its own hilaal committee to sight the moon. This includes newly founded communities in Trinidad, Guyana, United States and Canada. From the head of the Sunni world Al Azhar to the head of the Shia world in Qom and Iraq they all are unanimous of following the local sighting that might include expanding boundaries.
None of the organizations who deny following the Hilaal sighthing have any backup from any established Grand Mufti, Qualified Scholar or Islamic Country. They are independent and free thinking in the new founded land of North America.
Please forward to all your email contacts.
We share the ruling of the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia (Followers of moderate Salafi/Wahhabi doctrine) who advise their followers to not follow them.
http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/08/08/24/10239512.html Grand Mufti declares following moon of Saudi is not valid for Muslim World. Please share with your friends and families and encourage the members and management of the centre's of the Masjid's who follow astronomical calculations or Saudi to change their position and stick to local sightings like the entire Muslim world.
Currently over 82 Sunni Masjids in GTA (Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaah) http://www.hilalcommittee.com/ , Ithna Ashriyya Shia Centre's (25 in Toronto) plus the Ismaili community (25 Jamaat Khana's) in Toronto follow the sighting of the moon to start and end the month of Ramadan.
We don't know of any country that bases the fasting and Eid based on astronomical calculations.
Why not follow Saudi's sighting? http://www.hilalcommittee.com/decisions.html

Authentic Hadeeth to support the sighting. If inshallah it is sighted then Ramadan will be on Wednesday August 11th. The chance is minimal for North American's so it is more likely Thursday August 12th.
