As the end of Ramadhan approaches, one topic somes under hot discussion every year and that question is When Is the Eid? Are we going to have 29 fasting days or 30? This debate has been going on ever since I know and their has never been one a single occassion in my life, when the whole Muslim world celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr on the same day. None that I recall. Every year there are atleast 2 and recently as was the case this time, there have 3 independent Eid-ul-Fitrs celebrated throughout the whole world i.e. on the 12th, 13th and 14th of October, 2007.Have we ever given it a thought what message are we giving to the rest of the non-muslim world that as usual we cannot even have a consensus on of our biggest holy event of Eid-ul-Fitr. Even the Christians celebrate their christman on the same day, 25th of December. Then why can't we?Why we cannot take this out of our lives, I am not so sure about it, but apparantly, its the Mullahs of our society that have driven us Muslims apart farther each day. The more power we give to them, the more they start to exploit it. Ofcourse they want to have and show the power, may it be only to the level of the Eid Day. They like to clearly give us the signal that unless I say yes, you cannot celebrate the biggest event of Muslim Ummah and so the differences between the Ummah itself.Saudi Arabia and Middle East have always been the first to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr and in Pakistan, generally the people of Peshawar share the day of joy with the Saudis. So we are used to have 2 different Eid Days within Pakistan.Our Mullahs have declared that the sighting of the moon is necessary to declare the Eid-ul-Fitr, but my question is, Why divide our events just on the grounds that we have not seen the moon. I mean could there not be a million reasons for the moon to be obscure in one part of the world. How far is Saudi Arabia anyway from Pakistan. If the Moulvis in Saudi Arabia  have seen the moon there, why can we not just trust them and declare Eid the say same day in Pakistan and the rest of the world.The fact that Saudi Arabia is the center of religion for the whole Muslim world, then what's the harm if we associate Eid-ul-Fitr with them and for once show some harmony and unity in our faith. Life would be much easier for us, Muslims and for Christians as well in countries where Muslims are working. The Christian employers and colleagues would know in advance which day their Muslim co-workers are going to take their day off. More importantly, no more would the non-muslims be able to taunt us for such chaos in our religious beliefs.
