Dear Observer, Assalaamu Alaikum. Ruia’ti Hilal Majlis, International is inviting you to participate in seeking the crescent to determine the 1st day of As-Shahru ZulQa’dah Shareef (1436). The next Zero Moon (New Moon) will occur on 14th August, 2015 at 14:53 hrs. Please try and observe the crescent in the western sky on 29th As-Shahrus Shawwal Shareef after sunset. Observations, both positive and negative, should be submitted at Majlisu Ruiatil Hilal: www.al-hilaal.net Our Objectives: To inform people around the world of the first day of every Islamic month so that they can perform rituals related to that month. We also want to inform people the true beliefs and real teachings of Islam. Your Duties: All members are requested to provide us crescent sighting report at the beginning of every Islamic month. You can also ask different questions related to Shariah to know the right answer. Please visit www.al-ihsan.net How to do it: Find a westerly facing spot with a clear view of the horizon. Wait for the sun to set, and then look for the crescent. Use only your bare eyes. Don’t use binocular and telescope. (If you want to locate the crescent then it is allowed but make sure you see the crescent by the bare eyes.) Make sure you see the crescent, not any cloud or vapor trail. Make a note, where you were, the date and time of your observation, the weather condition and how many people were with you. Thank you for your continued participation in this project.
