Kafan ki Wapsi | The Return of the Shroud
mentioned, and the calculation of these months is based on the moon. Many rulings of Islamic law are based upon the lunar months, for example, the fasts of Ramadan, rulings of Zakāĥ, and the rites of Hajj. Furthermore, Islamic holy days such as Eid-e-Mīlād-un-Nabī صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Eid-ul-Fiṭr, Eid-ul-Aḍḥā, Shab-e-Mi’rāj, Shab-e-Barā`at, Giyārĥwīn Sharīf, the ‘Urs of saints of Islam, etc. are all celebrated according to the lunar calendar.
Sadly, nowadays, just as Muslims are drifting far away from countless Sunnaĥs, they are also unaware of the Islamic calendar. If the question ‘What is the Islamic date, month and year today?’ was asked to a gathering of one thousand Muslims, probably only one hundred would be able to give a correct reply. Remember that it is obligatory to consider the lunar months in many matters such as the obligation of Zakāĥ, etc.
A faith enlightening parable of respecting Rajab
During the time of Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام there was a man who had fallen in love with a woman for quite some time. One day he managed to take hold of her, when he realised from the gathering of the people that they were sighting the moon. He asked the woman, ‘Which month’s crescent are the people looking at?’ She replied, ‘The month of Rajab.’ Although that person was a Kāfir [non-believer], upon hearing the sacred name of Rajab, he immediately moved away from the woman out of respect and refrained from committing that shameful act.
