(A) There are several reasons why the calendar of Jamia Rahmania differs from other calendars. (1) There has been a lot of research and review on the calendar of Mufti Amimul Ihsan Sahib. Changes and corrections have been made in many places. The revised calendar has been distributed and disseminated by the "Islamic Foundation Bangladesh" for the past few years. Jamia Rahmania makes Sahari and Iftar calendars on the basis of the revised calendar. So naturally the difference is made. Because, the basis of each is different. (2) The time of sunset is mentioned in the revised calendar of Iftar - we set the time of Iftar by adding three minutes to it as a precaution. Many organizations add 5 minutes to the time of sunset in the former calendar to warn of the time of iftar, which they consider to be the time of sunset, and add 5 minutes for the second time to warn of the time of iftar. Due to which it can be seen in many calendars that the time of Iftar has been fixed 7/8 minutes after the Rahmania calendar. However, the claim of the Hadith to break the fast so late does not agree. In the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) instructed to break the fast as soon as possible after the time has come. (3) In other calendars, the last time of sahri has been fixed 5 minutes before the main time of Sadiq in the morning for the custody of Ramadan. But nothing was said about the time of Fajr. Although this protects the fast, there are still problems with the Fajr call and prayers, for example, there are many muezzins who think that the last time of Fajr, which is 5 minutes before the beginning of Fajr, is the beginning of Fajr. Azan is starting. According to the fatwa, their call to prayer is not being valid because it is premature. As a result, Fajr Jamaat is being established in those mosques without Fajr Azan. The mosque authorities are being blamed for this and the reward of Jamaat is decreasing. A more serious problem is that the prayers of many of those who are praying Fajr at home after hearing that wrong call to prayer are being canceled because it is before the time of Fajr begins. In view of these problems, in Rahmania's calendar, it has been asked to stop tahajjud prayer and sahri eating 5 minutes before the main time of Sadiq in the morning and to call for Fajr 5 minutes after the main time of Sadiq in the morning. In summary, most other calendars have been careful about fasting, and the Rahmania calendar has been careful about fasting and the Fajr call and prayer. It is to be noted that since the original time of Sadiq in the morning has been calculated, it is not uncommon for it to be quite less than 2/1 minutes with reality, moreover, there may be less than 2/1 minutes in the clock time. Azan has been asked to be given five minutes after the original time to avoid both problems. It's not just Fajr, but we need to be a little more careful at all times. Azan should not be started just in time according to the calendar. (B) Yes, on the calendar compiled by Mufti Amimul Ihsan Sahib (RA) about 7/8 years ago at the initiative of Islamic Foundation under the leadership of Khatib Hazrat Maulana Ubaidul Haq Sahib of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. Then they came to a final decision and presented their design to Hazrat Allama Mufti Abdur Rahman Sahib and some other Muftis of the country. Since then, the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh has been promoting the revised calendar. There are significant differences in many places between the calendar made by Mufti Amimul Ihsan Sahib (RA) and the subsequent calendar. Some of which are given below: (1) There is a difference of 4/5 minutes on many dates between the time of Fajr and Maghrib on many dates, due to which the time of Iftar is 4/5 minutes earlier than the previous calendar in a few months in the revised calendar. (2) No precaution has been taken about the time of Fajr in the previous calendar, only the last time of the warning sahri has been written. And on some calendars, just one minute of caution is required যা which is not enough at all. And 3/5 minutes of caution has been exercised in the revised calendar. (3) The time of different district cities has been mentioned in the previous calendar in such a way that 5 minutes should be increased from Dhaka time or 4/5 minutes should be reduced from Dhaka time. And in the revised calendar, different calendars have been made for each district city. Because, it was not possible to maintain the full schedule of a full year through the difference of a few minutes. Mufti Sahib (RA) has based only on longitude without differentiating the latitude of the districts. However, according to the tahkeek of modern solarists, the time difference between prayer and fasting is different in different seasons due to the difference in latitude due to the same longitude. Therefore, in order to determine the schedule of other district cities from the schedule of Dhaka city, it is important to keep an eye on both longitude and latitude. 7113859395
