Description

Asslam Alikum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakato 


Hi! Hello everyone! ( I thought I would missed this but AlhamdulIAllah !

the day has come !
it's the 29th of Sha'ban (the name of the 8th month in Islamic calender) .everyone is standing , waiting .. watching ..
most family are waiting in home watching TV or listening to the radio . They are waiting for the Ramadan announcement !
the first Ramadan night would be today or tomorrow it depends .. but right now the month Sha'ban will complete 30 day. ^-^ 

So , as you know , Maaroof and his friends Waled and Hatem are doing their best to find on the crescent ( Helal ) . the weather is hot , Hatem is sharing water bottle to Maaroof . but Maarof doesn't listen he is focusing  on observing . 
Everyone  enjoys  searching every year !

(The first crescent appear will be announce the first day of new month) . > This is Hijra system it depends on moon , the first moon appear it will be the begin of the new month .  
or if it doesn't appear all Muslim will complete the 30 days in the month and start Rmadan after tomorrow .


Bullet; Red Why we do that ? why every year we search for the Ramdhan crescent? We do that every year , we use to look up for Ramadhan crescent as our prophet Mohammand peace be upon him - صلى الله عليه وسلم - said (صوموا لرؤيته وأفطروا لرؤيته ) - ( if there is a crescent of the begin of the month , do your fast . and stop your fasting if you saw the crescent of begin of the next month -Shawal- . )

Why Muslims don't use the date in the calendar ?
Because our dates aren't fixed as Gregorian date . In Islamic calendar (Hijri) the month end depends on moon. Phases of the moon end last for 29 days or 30 days . When we reach the middle of the month (15) we'll see the full moon . 
So, Hijri date -Islamic calendar- Start its month from the first phases of the moon . and Ends in the last crescent of the moon in 29 then start the next month . Or we start next month on the next day if the crescent complete 30 days . 
there is no 31 date in Islamic calendar ^-^ . Because the phases of the moon only last for 29 or 30 days 

I hope I did explain well Sweating a little...


Pray we ask Allah to be able to live this month and be able to do the good deeds ,Amin . 
and help all muslims to gain strength for fasting in summer ! Amin


I hope you like it !
