PTI Govt ‘decides’ to disband Ruet-i-Hilal committees at all levels

[Walter]

The best news which has gone unnoticed is that the govt has decided to disband the Ruet-i-Hilal committees at all levels & entrust the task of moon sighting to the Metrological Dept. Thank God it will get rid of the Chairman for life Mufti Muneeb too who was a big nuisance.

NEWS:

ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led federal government has reportedly decided to disband the Ruet-i-Hilal committees at all levels and entrust the task of moon sighting to the Meteorological Department.

Reports in local media suggest the decision was made in the wake of repeated nuisance following the controversial decisions of moon sightings by the committees in the past, which cost millions to the national exchequer.

The decision will also help to end the confusion on the sighting of the moon for when the month would start and end, according to reports.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), which is well-equipped to predict moon birth in advance based on scientific calculations, is to be tasked with the job, the reports added.

It is a popular belief that in any Islamic state, the right of announcement for moon sighting for Eid and Ramazan is the authority of the state.

Meanwhile on Sunday, Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chairman Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman announced that the crescent of Jamadi-ul-Awal has not been sighted and the 1st Jamadi-ul-Awal 1440 Hijri will be on Tuesday.

He announced this after chairing the meeting of Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Karachi today.

Are you sure those khuchray mullas were really looking for the moon?

Love this decision. It is stupid to keep spending poor taxpayers money on these mullahz and their useless excercise.

Let people watch for moon themselves and give them freedom to do Eid anyday they want to do.

It is totally between awam and Allah. Government has no business interfering in all this and wasting taxpayers money.

Not like he forces anything upon you. You are free to watch your own moon and decide about your eid day.

You have total religious freedom like that mullah in Peshawar.

 

[Navash]

anyone who talks of honoring The Best of creation peace be upon him:

- jail: Rizvi sahib
- Shut down: Mufti Muneeb sahib
- Banned: Orya sahib

Coward niazi on his way to building riasate kafiria. Koi nahi kuch hi din reh gae hai Insha Allah Rizvi sahib bahir a kar tumhari is ghaliz koshish ko nakam kare ge.

Because they're humans and not angels? They have same desires as us but try to suppress them and use them in a better way.

There's no need to bash all Mullahs over the action of government appointed one.

The problem of the country is injustices and even this institution had injustices and corruption.

You are right.They are humans like the rest of us but having more knowledge about religion than the rest, they ought to behave better. No excuse that I did not know!:LOL:

Brother, this is a good decision. Mufti Muneeb was unjustly biased in favor of Nawaz Sharif and he created unnecessary controversies when it came to Ramadan and Eid rejecting Shahadahs of moon sightings. He probably would've done it this year too.

Maybe another Mufti should've been appointed instead of dismissing the whole committee.

In KPK, the procedure was exactly Islamic. Several people would come with testimony and only trustworthy people's testimony would be accepted. Mufti Muneeb on the other hand rejected testimony and only relied on his and few others sightings which he failed usually because of how late he started sightings. Even this committee was victim of government laziness and incompetence.

It does seem Imran Khan is following the footsteps of Mustafa Kamal Ataturk separating religion from politics. But can you blame him? He seems like he's confused about Islamic and liberal ideals and seems to be a mixture of both. Maybe it's his goal, to please both liberals and religious people. Not sure his intentions but he's clearly a confused person.

I just hope he doesn't secularise this country, he would become the biggest Munafiq ever, so far i am giving him the benefit of doubt and waiting what he does in 5 years.

PS: i don't support Orya Maqbools ban. But this is pretty common. You can't speak the truth anymore
