Based on Global Rukyat, Jama’ah Muslimin Announces 1 Ramadhan 1445 H to Start on Monday
Jakarta, MINA – Jama’ah Muslimin (Hizbullah) has determined that 1 Ramadhan 1445 H will fall on Monday March 11 2024.
Imaamul Muslimin Yakhsyallah Mansur decided this after receiving a recommendation from the Qadha Council based on the Falak Observation Center (POF) report, that the new moon was declared visible in Saudi Arabia, and had been announced by the Saudi High Court. As reported by several sources, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s news agency (SPA).
Imaam Yakhsyallah Mansur determined the start of Ramadan referring to the words of Allah in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 183ُ and Surah An-Nisa verse 59, as well as the Prophet’s hadith, “Fast because you see it (hilal), and break your fast because you see it (hilal).”
Imaam Yakhsyallah Mansur in his tausiyah called for Muslims to fast during Ramadan as was the example of Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam.
“May we all be given Allah’s guidance, mercy and forgiveness, and we can carry out fasting according to the instructions of Allah and His Messenger, and we can fill it with worship according to the Shari’a,” he said.
In its report, the Falak Observation Center (POF) of Jama’ah Muslimin (Hizbulah) is guided by the global rukyatul hilal, that is, if there are Muslims in any region who have seen the hilal as a marker for the beginning of the month, then this applies to all regions or countries.
“The new moon has been seen in the Sudair region, Saudi Arabia,” said a POF statement.
The Muhammadiyah organization has also announced that Ramadhan 1445 will fall on Monday 11 March 2024 based on calculations (reckoning).
Meanwhile, the Indonesian government through the Indonesian Ministry of Religion has determined that Ramadhan will start on Tuesday, March 12 2024. This is based on the rukyatul hilal in all regions of Indonesia where the hilal is not seen.
The Indonesian Ministry of Religion, Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and all other community figures invite Muslims, especially in Indonesia, to respect each other and maintain harmony and togetherness. (T/RE1/P2)
