"Even before Ramadan begins, people are already debating about moon sighting. You would think after 1,400 years, we probably figured it out by now, but we haven’t. Every year it’s the same thing. “We’re going with Saudi!” “Vee are going with Pakistan.” “Our Masjid will Inshallah start on Friday.” “Our Masjid will inshallah start on Saturday.” “Brozzar we are going to start on Sunday, no matter what. According to our calculations brozzar, it will happen on Sunday and there’s no way for it to be before Sunday, according to our calculations.” “Huh?” “Brother it’s starting on Sunday!” “The moon was sighted yesterday bro..” “Not according to our calculations brozzar, it cannot happen. “Brother, let us unite the Ummah using our calculations.” What?!” That’s not even part of the Sunnah. The brother said he saw the moon yesterday, we should start when the moon was sighted. Why are we making things so complicated? It’s actually simple. Sight the moon, start Ramadan. Sight the moon, Ramadan ends. You know what? We should make a song out of it."
