Jazak Allah, good thread. Masjids here in the USA who are following the Fiqh Council of NA/ISNA will have Ramadan 1 on August 1 (my masjid included, unfortunately). We'll see what the sighting organizations in California, Chicago, and Toronto say; I'll post that stuff here for US users. (Hope this thread wasn't just for UK sighting?)

Assalamu alaikum, The first chapter of the book deals extensively on the Moon Sightings which includes 1) What is the Astronomical New Moon? ( Which means NO MOON can be sighted on this day 2) What is the Crescent Moon? ( = the Hilaal Moon that is the second day of the New Moon ) 3) How the Maulana Zulfiqar Sahab met the Senior Officials of the Saudi Government and they accepted that their tradition of declaring the start and end of the Ramzaan on the Friday following the 15th Shabaan is COMPLETLY ABSURB !!!! 4) How the Haz, Maulana Zulfiqaar sb. met the Space Officials- USA and Senior Navy officials of US Marines who accepted that their method of predicting the MOON contains a whooping 6000 'Variables'and 'Constants'!!! In short it and an complete In and out book regarding Moon sighting. Jazalkalla0 |

![]() My heart bleeds as these issues are discussed. May Allah grant all proper hidayat and undersanding to adopt the shariah correctly and upon the usool, and not whims and fancies. Ameen. Does that mean that the Hijri dates on awqaf calender can be wrong ? My friend told me The start of month has been exactly as in the awqaf calender. |

![]() From the graphs: Saudia and UK will have 1st Ramadaan on 1 August. Is this correct? What are the chances that Saudia will have it on 31 August? What do the hijri calenders reflect? ![]()

Moon-sighting unlikely today ----- http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article480044.ece
By MD HUMAIDAN | ARAB NEWS Published: Jul 29, 2011 23:07 Updated: Jul 29, 2011 23:07 JEDDAH: Observatories in a number of Islamic countries were unanimous in their claims that the crescent indicating the beginning of Ramadan will not be sighted on Saturday night, meaning the first day of Ramadan will most likely be Monday. This time of year all Muslims everywhere will be busy looking at the skies to the crescent which signals the beginning of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Deputy chairman of the astronomical society in Saudi Arabia Sharaf Al-Sufyani said the society would organize a moon-sighting function under the Supreme Court, which asked all residents to look for the crescent Saturday evening. The court is the specialized organ that will decide when fasting should start. He said the sighting will be done in Al-Hada, Taif, and he welcomed all those who have telescopes or binoculars to attend. Al-Sufyani said it would be extremely difficult to sight the moon on Saturday evening. The Bahrain Astronomical Society expressed the same view. It said in a statement that moon-watchers would not be able to see the crescent. The society said the crescent would clearly be seen on Sunday evening and therefore Ramadan would start on Monday when it would stay for about half an hour after sunset. The European Council for Ifta and Research in Dublin said Monday would be the first day of Ramadan. It said the crescent would be clearly sighted Sunday evening in large areas in North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and North America. The Calendar Home in Qatar expressed the same view.

If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]. Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraaweeh prayers tomorrow (Sunday 31 July 2011) after the 'Ishaa. prayer, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhaan on Monday 1 August 2011, inshaa.-Allaah. http://*****************/news/0110730.htm |
