incorrect info on this thread. ONLY a portion of Deobandi masjids in the UK started the month from Sunday 28th - no one else. London Central Mosque (main UK Arab masjid), East London Mosque, Masjid Tawheed in Leyton (strong salafi masjid and normally hosts official saudi gov ulama) and Islam Channel all follow Saudi and always have. They along with every other Arab masjid, non deobandi masjid/org who follow saudi started the same as Wifaq and Batley - Monday 29th. Well and truly mind boggling that the deobandi saudi following masjids and arab masjids etc have for the past 20 years (so thats about 240 months) started the month on exactly the same day. but this month?? And before someone says that the deobandi saudi following masjids follow the elaan of new month given by Saudi's Mujlis Qaza ul Aa'laa then do you really think the deobandi masjids have stronger contacts with Saudi then the Arab Masjids
