Unfortunate! Govt Failed to Synchronize Eid Milad Holiday With Moon Sighting: Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam
Grand Mufti of Jammu and Kashmir, Nasir-ul-Islam, on Friday expressed strong disappointment over what he termed as the government’s failure to align the official holiday for Eid-e-Milad with the actual sighting of the moon.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Grand Mufti, as per news agency Kashmir News Corner, he said, “It is most unfortunate that despite Eid Milad falling on Saturday as per the sightation of the moon, the Government failed to synchronize the notification accordingly. This total mismatch reflects a negative approach towards a revered day which holds spiritual and religious significance.”
The Grand Mufti urged the authorities to ensure that such discrepancies are not repeated in the future, stressing that the sanctity of religious occasions must be respected and preserved.
