“It is Fardh (obligatory) for every person to know the injunctions that apply to his every day life so that he can avoid falling into Haraam.” (Volume 1, Page 42)

Purpose of Presentation

To understand the errors of other timetables that are currently being used in the UK.

Salah Times in the UK

Many towns and cities of the UK are currently using a timetable devised by Hizbul Ulama UK.

The claims in the timetable appear to be perfect, and yet an

investigation into the claims reveal glaring and serious errors.

These flaws have been put forward to Hizbul Ulama who

have failed to adequately respond to them. The people of this area should be proud of the work of the

Ulama and the decision to follow the majority of the scholars of world in their decision to follow 18 degrees.

Claims of the Hizbul Ulama

1) They have carried out extensive and continuous observations for a whole year.

2) Where observation was not possible they have used Akrabul Ayyam.

3) They have followed the “criteria” as explained by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi RHA.

Examples of Errors

More Errors

On Page 112 of Fajr and Esha Times and Twilight Maulana Yakub Miftahi states:

“The beginning time of Fajar be determined by

Akrabul Ayyam for those days where the whiteness of Isha merged with the light of morning.”

Akrabul Ayyam has a clear definition in Shari’ah.

Maulana has invented his own definition to suit the purpose of his timetable.

More Errors

2) 1988 – 1989

3) Observing for only 50 days

Have any Senior Muftis denounced the Hizbul Ulama Timetable?

“These errors (of the Hizbul Ulama Timetable) came about due to a lack of knowledge with regards to (the nature of) Subh Sadiq.”

“The observations of Blackburn cannot be applied to the whole UK.” Mufti Isma’il Barkordrawi.

Hizbul Ulama’s Mushahadah Vs Mushahadah proving 18 degrees

It is not a question of Mushahadah Vs 18 degrees. This is a false notion.

18 degrees Mushahadah done by Ulama in Preston, Batley and Canada.
