hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again

which one? which one?

okay, eid will be celebrated here on monday, along with the UAE. however, the UAE started their fast on the saturday while we started ours on the sunday (along with s'pore and m'sia). we fasted for 29 days also last year and from what i gathered, even the year before. so it seems like 'the people here' macam play cheat like that. imam was saying that the least number of days in Ramadhan in 29 and the maximum, 30. why must Muslims here keep on fasting for only 29 days?

besides, when imam announced the day of eid... he didn't mention anything about the crescent of the moon whatsoever (and from my very little knowledge, i'm pretty sure that u gotta base eid on the moon. no moon = no eid). the imam said we'll celebrate eid according to the majority. so if the majority geos to hell, we should too? (i'm NOT saying that that're wrong, they MAY be right. i'm just giving an example to get people to think).

i wasn't affected last year because miss 'monthly-best-friend' paid a visit at the last few days of Ramadhan.

okay, IF the majority is right, and we celebrate eid after fasting for 29 days only, i have another thought. it says in the Qur-an that LailatulQadar is the 'last 10 nights of Ramadhan'(in appendix 1 of the translated Qur'an). this means that OUR last 10 nights started on the night of the 20th of Ramadhan, while those fasting for 30 days started their LailatulQadr on the 21st night of Ramadhan. HOWEVER, imam started on the 21st night of Ramadhan here... which means that we had a total of only NINE nights of LailatulQadr. but but but... it didn't spell it out ('last ten nights') in Surah Al-Qadr. it was said so in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol 3, Hadith no. 234 where Aishah (ra) said that Rasul (saw) said to search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadhan.

so how? i'm confused and asking too many questions (like mine) is not really encouraged in the Religion if it suggests disbelief (which is what i'm NOT trying to do). i just want to know my religion inside out and i have a long way to go.

how? how? macam mana ni? shall i just join the rest on monday to the eid prayers in school (uni gym hall- where i played basketball and netball- to be more precise), or should i just continue with another day of fast? its just another day anyway. aiyah! this leads to ANOTHER question.

imam was narrating a story of a travellor who has been fasting for 28days and on his supposed 29th day, he was in a country who celebrated eid (on his 29th day of fast). imam said its HARAm to fast on the day of eid.... so the travellor didn't fast, even if he has been fasting for only 28days. in my case, how?

aaaayaiyai...

am i thinking too much? i think i'm doubting the imam and the rest of the Islamic leaders here a tad too much. (well, fasting for 29days only for 3 years straight. and that's with proof. i don't know about the years before). i find the imam's reason to declare eid was too dodgy... 'because the majority is celebrating on monday'. macam aperrrr jer. so i hope, on sunday night, the crescent do come out so i'll be truly convinced, not cause 'the majority says so'.
