Islamic Circles Presents:

FIASCO OVER THE START/END OF RAMADAN

with Mohammad Aslam Ijaz (MCB & UK Hilal Committee) and others

Date: Sunday 2nd October 2005
Time: 11am - 1pm
Place: Froud Centre, Romford Road, Manor Park, London E12 5JF

Every year we seem to be faced with the same old controversy
about which day Ramadan starts and when it will finish. Whilst
there is legitimate scope for differences of opinion in these
matters, recent years have demonstrated that the behaviour of
Muslims in dealing with such issues has left a lot to be
desired. So, is it really possible for Muslims in the UK to
start fasting on the same day? Why all the silly name calling?
What role does Science play in all of this? Are you confused
by the whole affair and can't be bothered anymore? Perhaps
you require some clarification? Come and take part in this
discussion where we hope to shed some light on the issues. It
promises to be a lively and informative session, insha'Allah.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Buses: 25, 147, 86
Nearest Tube: East Ham (District Line)
