Wa alaikum assalam Sword,

JazakAllah Khair for your kind words. I am happy that you have found some of the material helpful, Alhumdolillah.

With regards your question, Ramadan is a well known month of the Islamic calendar so I do not feel there is any dispute with regards this.

However, I have written a couple of articles on the opening and closing times of the fast if these are of any use. I reference them below for your perusal. [1], [2].

Failing that, if you could kindly share the link of the site you mention, then maybe I can take a look at the specific claims and respond a little more comprehensively in due course.

I hope this helps, God willing.

Regards,
Joseph.

Yes, I'm well aware of the opening and closing times of fasting, and I completely agree with the articles that you've referred. Insha'Allah, from next ramadhan, I hope to follow these timings.



Now here are the links where you should take a look at. Much has been discussed regarding the Islamic calender and the month of ramadhan:

After you study the links, please get back on this thread to share your thoughts, or maybe you can write an article on this subject. I will be waiting, brother.



Peace.

Salamun Alaykum, brother Joseph.


May Allah reward you for your superb works. I'm really glad and thankful to Allah to have found you on the internet, and I must say that your articles are simply eye-opening.


My question to you is:


From a Quran's perspective, is the worldwide timing of Ramadhan that we see today the correct timing of the month of Ramadhan? If it is not the correct timing, then when is it? I've read on another website that the Sunni and Shia Muslim's timing of Ramadhan is not approved by the Quran. I am confused. Please help me.
