Taqwim Al-Ummah (تقويم الأمة) "Taqwimul-Umati
"The Quran, a masterpiece of divine revelation, guides us toward the path of unity and synchronization. As we ponder the wisdom of Surah Ar-Rahman, verse 5, we are reminded:
"The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed." (Quran 55:5)
"This verse serves as a profound reminder of the celestial rhythms that govern our universe. The sun and the moon, two celestial bodies that have captivated human imagination since time immemorial, move in perfect harmony, their orbits computed with precision and accuracy.
"As we reflect on the wisdom of this verse, we are drawn to the realization that the universe is governed by a divine order, a order that is both beautiful and precise. The sun and the moon, two seemingly disparate entities, are, in fact, part of a larger cosmic harmony, a harmony that is reflected in the unity and synchronization of the global Muslim community.
"The Hadith narrations, entrusted to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), underscore the significance of lunar observation. As we synchronize our calendars with the Taqwim Al-Ummah, we acknowledge the profound importance of unity and cohesion within the global Muslim community.
"The Arabian Peninsula, situated in the Northern Hemisphere, serves as the epicenter for lunar observations, guiding the Ummah toward a harmonized calendar. This synchronization transcends geographical boundaries, as the sighting of the moon in Saudi Arabia resonates with the Southern Hemisphere, including South Africa.
"As we attune ourselves to the Taqwim Al-Ummah, we honor the wisdom of Allah's creation, where the Masjid Al-Haram and Masjid Al-Aqsa serve as sacred anchors, guiding humanity toward the path of righteousness.
"Let us ponder the profound implications of this verse, as we strive to embody the values of unity, synchronization, and devotion. As we do so, we become part of a larger community of believers, united in our pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual growth."
