First CrescentThe 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, the time difference between sunset and moonset and the angular distance between the sun and the moon.

Regional VariationsThe Islamic dates are based on expectation of crescent sighting in Europe calculated from the latest available scientific data. During 1433 A.H. regional variations may occur for some months as noted overleaf. To fulfil the Shariah requirements we will continue to ascertain that the actual sighting has occurred on the days expected.

Visible CrescentOne 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.

New MoonThe 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. * All dates subject to the sighting of the moon.

Shawwaal

Qamar Dar AkrabAccording to Ahadeeth we should refrain from reciting the Nikah during Qamar Dar Akrab - when the moon is passing through the phase of Scorpio.
