Muslim invented ‘At-Twaqwimush Shamsi calendar as an alternative to the kaafir developed ‘solar’ calendar

Allah Pak Dictates, “Follow not the kaafir and the mushriqs”.
The Saudi decision of not using the ‘gregorian calendar’ developed by the kaafir in all official and non-official purposes is definitely praise-worthy. But then it would be appropriate for Saudi Arabia and all to use the Muslim invented ‘At-Twaqwimush Shamsi calendar as an alternative to the kaafir developed ‘solar’ calendar.”

Focal Wali-Allah of this age, Imaam and Mujtahid of the age, Imaamul Aimmah, Qutwubul A’alam, Awladur Rwasool, Habeebullah, Mamduh Ha’drat Murshid Qibla ‘Alaihis Salaam of Rajarbagh Shareef, Dhaka, Says, “The Saudi decision of not using the ‘gregorian calendar’ in all official and non-official purposes developed by the kaafir is definitely praise-worthy. But then the Muslim invented ‘At-Twaqwimush Shamsi calendar as an alternative to the kaafir developed ‘solar’ calendar may be used.” He recently made those remarks while delivering ‘Nasihah’ (Advices) in relation to using the first solar calendar of the world, the ‘At-Twaqwimush Shamsi’ instead of a ‘gregorian calendar’ introduced by the kaafir.

Mujaddidey A’azwam Mamduh Ha’drat Murshid Qibla ‘Alaihis Salaam says, “It has recently been learnt through a middle-eastern newspaper that Saudi government has promulgated an order of using a lunar calendar at all official and private levels, discarding the ‘gregorian calendar’ developed by the kaafir. This decision of theirs is obviously commendable. But then, as an alternative, they could use the ‘solar calendar’ developed by the Muslims in all their offices and courts, airlines and communication systems.”

Mujaddidey A’azwam Mamduh Ha’drat Murshid Qibla ‘Alaihis Salaam says, “Although there had not been the use of any ‘solar calendar’ in the world by the Muslims in the past, but there has come up a ‘solar calendar’ in the world, the very first of its kind, named ‘At-Twaqwimush Shamsi’. This calendar could have been used.”

Mujaddidey A’azwam Mamduh Ha’drat Murshid Qibla ‘Alaihis Salaam says, “The prime intention of all our jobs would be to seek the satisfaction of Allah Pak and Huzur Pak Swallalahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam. Allah Pak Dictated, “Follow not the kaafir and mushriqs”. In order to abide by that instruction, we must abandon using the gregorian calendar and begin using a Muslim developed Shari’ah Twaqwim (calendar). Programmes of implementing this could be taken up by discussing with those who are scholar on the subject.”
