Every Saudi Moon Announcement Says: According to the Umm al-Qura Calendar
سعودی اعلانِ ہلال ہمیشہ ام القری کیلنڈر کے مطابق، رویتِ حقیقی پر نہیں
A second reply to the fatwa holding that Saudi Arabia does not use the astronomical new moon for its months. Whenever the Saudi royal court announces a month, he says, the anchor reads out that the decision is according to the Umm al-Qura calendar, and he points to the announcement for Ramadan 1431, in 2010, as one example. Even at the two Eids, where a sighting is put on show, the witnesses are made to testify in line with that calendar. Since it is built on one degree, at which the crescent can never be seen, he asks that a ruling on an obligatory fast be checked before it is given.

Saudi Arabia Decides by the Umm al-Qura Calendar, Not by Sighting
سعودی عرب ام القری کیلنڈر پر فیصلہ کرتا ہے، رویت پر نہیں
A reply to a fatwa holding that Saudi Arabia does not use the astronomical new moon for its months. He points to the crescent decisions published by the Saudi Supreme Court: every announcement since 2010, Ramadan and the two Eids included, says twice that it follows the Umm al-Qura calendar. That calendar, he says, is built on one degree, at which the crescent can never be seen. The seventeen-year record he compiled, with that phrase marked in red, can be downloaded from this page.

The Features of Al-Asl maa Ahadithihi wa Usulihi, Now in Four Volumes
الاصل مع احادیثہ و اصولہ کی خصوصیات
Four volumes of Al-Asl maa Ahadithihi wa Usulihi are now ready, out of a work expected to run to about thirty-six. He sets out what the book does: three hadiths beneath every ruling of Imam Muhammad's al-Asl, drawn only from the early collections, among them the six books, the Musannafs of Ibn Abi Shaybah and Abd al-Razzaq, Musnad Ahmad, al-Tabarani and al-Daraqutni; and every proof marked, with its full reference, as a verse, a hadith, a saying of a Companion or a saying of a Successor. With that, he says, nobody will be able to claim the Hanafis have no hadith. The same work is already complete on al-Hidayah, al-Quduri and Nur al-Idah.

The Three Beliefs the Shia Rest On, Against Quran and Hadith
شیعہ کے تین عقیدے جو قرآن و حدیث کے خلاف ہیں
He sets out three beliefs the Shia rest upon and argues that each one goes against the Quran and the hadith. The first is that Ali was the first caliph, though he was thirty-three at the time while Abu Bakr was sixty-one and the more experienced; the second is that they exclude the Prophet's wives from the Ahl al-Bayt and even speak ill of them, when they belong to it first of all; and the third is that they weep bitterly over the martyrdom of Husayn, when no Sunni killed him and it was the Shia themselves who did so at Karbala.

Reply to Ghamidi: The Houris Are a Separate Creation

Javed Ahmad Ghamidi holds that the women of this world will themselves be made into houris, so that the houris are not a separate creation. He answers that this goes against both the Quran and the hadith, since a hadith states that the women of this world will be superior to the houris on account of their prayer and fasting.

By modern astronomical calculation 9 Rabīʿ al-Awwal fell on Monday, 20 April 571 CE, while 12 Rabīʿ al-Awwal fell on a Thursday, so the Prophet ﷺ was born on the 9th. He notes that Mawlānā Ahmad Raza Khan gave the 8th in Fatāwā Razawiyya.
