Youm Alahad is Sunday but on website it says "Isneen" that means Monday.

If you tab Eng then you may find 5th of September.

So it means that 1st Shiwal was on Wednesday.

Khabar Pakki Hai Boss!

Khabara Pakkay Da De!

So I think who followed Saudia must do Tauba and observe fast in this month to compensate!

Saudi arabia getting the date wrong is nothing new. Saudis claim to base their dates on sighting of the moon and announce that the moon was sighted (Pushtoons of KP have a telescope thats directly linked to saudi arabia :) ) when all the scientific evidence show that its impossible to sight the moon in saudi arabia on that day. but then again we all know that saudis dont have their qibla right (pun intended).

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Asheikh in his Friday sermon at Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh described those who doubted the moon sighting as "motivated and deviated people with foul mouths."
"There are unjust pens and foul tongues that cast doubt on our religion which should be silenced. We are strictly following the Sunnah of our Prophet in fasting and marking Eid days," he said, accusing the doubting astronomers of trying to impose their opinions on the nation.
The mufti said the Shariah was clear in the procedures of moon sighting and added that Muslims would never give up the Sunnah for false opinions.
The moon was very clear the next day and was seen in various areas on Tuesday night. This supported the stand of those who said they had sighted the moon on Monday evening.
A number of citizens in the western Al-Ais area said they were able to sight the moon on the night of Monday for half an hour. Their testimony contradicts the claims of the astronomers who said that the moon could not be sighted.
