Global Islamic Hejric Calendar Proposal for His Majesty King Fahad Ibn Abdul Aziz 12-15-04.doc

Assalam o Alikum WrWb. In a few days time I will be faxing the calendar proposal to the office of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, OIC headquarters in Jeddah, the King Faizal Foundation and the Saudi Embassy in Washington D.C. Br. Odeh fowarded the document to the respective brothers of JAS, ICOP and AUASS for their review, imput and permission. No one has reply so far. I am hoping no news is good news. Please send your suggestions ASAP since I will be sending the document in a few days time, InshaAllah. With the exception of Br. Saleh Al Saab, not one of our brothers at KACST has replied to the previous email either on a positive or negative note. This is sad to say. From my experience Non-Muslims have responded to my emails when compared to some brothers at KACST. I wonder if everyone is so busy or trying to find unity among Muslims of the Ummah is not important. Sometimes I wonder if all these email addresses at KACST are not working. Br. Saleh Al Saab you are a true Muslims Ambassador for your country Saudi Arabia and the Ummah. May Allah (SWT) reward you and all others who strive to achieve these ends. May Allah (SWT) grant Muslims and Non-Muslims the strength to cope with the trials and suffering in South East Asia and other parts of the world.

However, I have only small comment, where you always place the logos of AUASS, JAS, and ICOP in your letters. Actually each ofthese logos shouldn't be added unless we have the agreement from the related organization. For example, in order to be able to place the logo of the AUASS, then you have to send the letter to the Crescents,Calendars, and Mawaqeet Committee of the AUASS to discuss it at first. As for JAS, it should be passed to the Crescents Observation and Mawaqeet Committee of JAS. Lastly as for ICOP, it should be sent to theConsulting Board of ICOP.Once again, I truly do appreciate your kind efforts.Moh'dBest Regards**********************************************************************Mohammad Shawkat OdehJordanian Astronomical Society (JAS)P.O.
