Your intellectual constipation is worse than I thought.
How can you measure my intelligence when you lack with basic intelligence?
"In Bengal, Emperor Akbar started the Bengali calender-year on 10 March, 1585, but it became effective from 16 March, 1586 the day of his ascension to the throne. The basis of the Bengali year is the Hejiri lunar year (Muslim era counted from the year of Muhammad's (SM) going to Medina in 622 AD and the Bengali solar year."
That can't be hard. Its all history isn't it.
You are tuned in different frequency. We are discussing the celebration of Bangla New Year by Muslim from Islamic prospective of view. No one is discussing the existence of bangla calendar or who came up with it. That a different discussion.
Bangla calendar is based on nature of bengal and its agricultural landscape. It has nothing to with Islamic calendar or Islam itself. We Muslim use Arabic calendar to celebrate our festivals. Last time I checked celebration of bangla New Year wasn’t included. Islamic scholars look at it as Musriki festival. On the other side Hindus in Bengal use bangla calendar for their religious and non-religious festival based on the nature of Bengal. It probably been celebrated by them with smaller scale. It’s a fairly new phenomena to Muslim and sadly some ignorant Muslim participate in this un-Islamic activity.
Akbar(allaluddin Muhammad) was creator of the concept "Zill-E-Elahi". He tried to mix purity of Islam with Hinduism. It's very much questionable about his Islamic faith. ALLAHU ALAM. So who knows what he was thinking????
