The search is on for a 22-year-old man who was forced off the road and kidnapped by armed gunmen while driving in Scarborough yesterday.

Toronto police detectives say Furqan Muhammad-Haroon, 22, of Toronto, was driving his van in the Midwest Rd. and Midland Ave. area, near Ellesmere Rd., around 3:30 p.m., when three men, one armed with a gun, forced him off the road.

Shortly after the incident, police found his vehicle.

Muhammad-Haroon is still missing.

He is described as brown, 5-foot-10, 181 pounds with black eyes, short black wavy hair and a beard with no moustache. He wears eye glasses. He was last seen wearing a blue, long-sleeved crew neck shirt and dark blue jeans.

His vehicle is a 2003 Mazda MPV van with Ontario license plate ASEH 887.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-4100.

Crime Stoppers accepts anonymous tips by phone at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com or by texting TOR and a message to CRIMES (274637).

First day of Ramadan will be Saturday, August 22, 2009

First day of Ramadan will be Saturday, August 22, 2009 and Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, September 20, 2009, inshaAllah.

“O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint.” Qur’an 2: 183

The Fiqh Council of North America recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar’i method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal. FCNA uses Makkah al-Mukarram as a conventional point and takes the position that the conjunction must take place before sunset in Makkah and moon must set after sunset in Makkah.

On the basis of this method the dates of Ramadan and Eidul Fitr for the year 1430 AH are established as follows:

1st of Ramadan will be on Saturday, August 22, 2009
1st of Shawwal will be on Sunday, September 20, 2009

Ramadan 1430 AH:
The astronomical New Moon is on Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 10:01 Universal Time (1:01 pm Makkah time). Sunset at Makkah on August 20 is at 6:47 pm local time, while moonset at Makkah is at 6:46 pm local time (1 minute before sunset). Therefore the following day Friday, August 21, 2009 is not the 1st day of Ramadan. First day of Ramadan is Saturday, August 22, insha’Allah. First Tarawih prayer will be on Friday night.

Eid ul-Fitr 1430 AH:
The astronomical New Moon is on Friday, September 18, 2009, at 18:44 Universal Time (9:44 pm Makkah time). On Saturday, September 19, 2009, sunset at Makkah is 6:20 pm local time, while moonset is at 6:36 pm local time. Therefore, first day of Shawwal, i.e., Eid ul-Fitr is Sunday, September 20, insha’Allah.

May Allah (swt) keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and prayers. Ameen. For more detailed information, please visit: www.fiqhcouncil.org or www.moonsighting.com

Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi,
Chairman
