Moon sighting and Lunar Calendar & Ramadan

Moon sighting and Lunar Calendar

Our fathers were getting out watching the sky for the declaration of the New Moon.

But today things are all overturned. People are rushing home to see the New Moon on the screen!

A lot of people amongst us haven’t seen the sky for months! Let alone the Moon. Do you remember How long since you watched the Moon lately?

Here the spirit of the religion gets ignored. Islam is the religion of the Nature. Our calendar is purely lunar because it is the Nature’s Monthly calendar.

The effects of the lunar cycle and its phases are evident in numerous life forms,

including fish, insects, mammals (including humans),

and plants as well as in waters. of new moon and full moon in the human body are experimentally and scientifically proved to

uphold the recommendation of the Beloved Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] for fasting on these days!!

Stunningly enough, it is the simple graphic representation of the Date, enabling even a nomadic person to find out the dates easily.

Moreover, Religious events are distributed evenly through the seasons while following the purely lunar calendar.

That is, for example, Ramadan, the month of fasting comes in Winter as well as in Summer.

Sadly, we see some people advocating for cesarean birth for the new moon to make a universal lunar calendar which goes straightly against the teaching of the

Beloved Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] and against the Nature itself. Every region of the planet has its own moon rise which applies to its flora and fauna.

To alter these timings to a makeup average is merely artificial and nothing natural about it. It is just like a man starting his day at 6’0 Clock losing six hours in the dark!

Muslims in many countries prefer the alternative natural clock that starts the day from the beginning rather than from the middle!
