Lunar Eclipse - Much of Europe and Asia,Australia, North America,

South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic

New Moon -The New Moon phase is defined to be the moment when the moon is almost directly between the Earth and the Sun. At this moment the moon’s dark surface faces the Earth. The New Moon is completely invisible. The date and time of this invisible New Moon is commonly found in almanacs, newspapers and calendars.

First Crescent -The Islamic month begins with the visible First Crescent and not with the invisible New Moon. The First Crescent is usually sighted in the western sky just after sunset on the first or second evening after the New Moon phase. The sighting depends upon the altitude of the crescent above the horizon, time difference between sunset and moonset and the angular distance between the sun and the moon.

Visible Crescent -One should not confuse the New Moon with the visible thin crescent. It should be realised that the new crescent following a lunar month of 30 days will be brighter and stay longer in the sky than the crescent following a month of 29 days.

Regional Variations -The Islamic dates are based on expectation of crescent sighting in Europe calculated from the latest available scientific data. During 1441/42 A.H. regional variations may occur for some months. To fulfil the Shariah requirements we will continue to ascertain that the actual sighting has occurred on the days expected.
