Hizb ul Ulama Uk and Jamiat Ulama Uk (CMC) has officially declared Muharram 1, 1430 hijri to be on Sunday, December 28, 2008. (This news is very disturbing as uptil now these groups followed Saudi announcements blindly. Note: Moon was not sightable anywhere in the world on this day, so where did they get the Sahaadah from? Also note the impossible two day difference.)
