Assalaamu 'Alaikum!

The moon has not been sighted. As such Sha'baan ends with 30 days tomorrow.

1 Ramadan 1433 corresponds to

"Ramadan Hilal- 1st Ramadhan on Saturday 21st July
Thu - 19 Jul
Alhamdulillah Members of the Ulama of Wifaq and the general public made the effort to sight the hilal of Ramadhan in many towns and cities. We have NOT received any news of positive sighting here in the UK, even from the observatory in York.
We have NOT received news of actual sightings from anywhere else; hence the Wifaq ul Ulama hereby announces Shabaan will have 30 days and that the 1st of Ramadhan will be on Saturday 21st of July 2012 according to the Sunnah.

We conclude with the Dua: May Allah forgive our shortcomings and shower his immense mercy and blessings on each and every one of us in this very blessed month of Ramadhan that is to start on Saturday".

seems like most of the world is fasting based either on following Saudi or on astronomical calculation that is possible to see the crescent somewhere on earth.

there isn't the usual domino rally of sightings and announcements across the world that usually happen.

it seems that only a handful of sightings are claimed by some people in Saudi, Egypt and Nigeria (all of these are impossible according to astronomical calculations, but if Allah wills it astronomical charts can count for nothing).

many Muslims have been looking for the moon in clear skies using telescopes have seen no crescent and thus the countries who have stuck to local moon sightings have announced that Ramadan starts on Saturday, but InshaAllah Allah will be pleased by the sincere efforts of those who start on Friday and those who start on Saturday, yes?

this pdf is interesting http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/misc/mo...irths_Pt_2.pdf

actually according to the list on moonsighting,.com of countries doing it on Sat approx 655million muslims are doing it on Sat . so nearly 50/50. Based on these population figures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...lim_population

Ramadan Kareem!

No akhi, its not a personal question. But you wouldn't know the mosque anyway, its not famous or anything, just a worn out building transformed into a Masjid. But if you must know, its called 'Umar Masjid.

Depending on the method:

"There have been no confirmed sightings of the new crescent in the parameters of the Hilal Committee on the eve of Thursday July 19th, 2012 (29th Shabaan 1433), therefore the Hilal Committee of the GTA officially declares Shaban to complete 30 days and Ramadan will start on Saturday 21st of July, 2012." and

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-Mukarrama 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 1433 AH are established as follows:
1st of Ramadan will be on Friday, July 20, 2012
1st of Shawwal will be on Sunday, August 19, 2012

i doubt that. probs get news but you'll get it very late. HOWEVER if you, and majority of India (and or Pak) do it on Sunday then that'll be a two (yes 2, t.w.o) day difference with Saudi followers.

[doolarsva]
