Moon Sighting Appeal for Ramzan 1435H Written by Peer wo Murshid Hz. Maulana Abulfatah Syed Nusrat Sahab Qibla Thursday, 26 June 2014 00:00 Faqueer Abulfatah Syed Nusrat makes an earnest appeal to all the brothers and sisters in Faith to keep alive the Sunnah of our beloved ProphetSAS and try to sight the New Moon (Hilal) of Ramzan-ul-Mubarak on the 29th of Shaban 1435 H (which happens to be on Friday, the 27th of June 2014 in North America). Numerous traditions (Ahadith) promise immense Divine reward for those who try to keep a Sunnah of the ProphetSAS alive. Please remember what our Imam, the Promised MahdiPBUH taught us. He said that our religion is the Book of God and following Muhammad, the Messenger of God (Allah bless him and give him peace). Totally depending upon declarations based on astronomical calculations of the experts we cannot do away with the Sunnah of the ProphetSAS viz. based on both the word and the deed of the ProphetSAS. Astronomical calculations can only help us in determining the possible date and time of visibility of New Moon. However, sighting the New Moon is a requirement of Shariah. Hence, it is a matter of Sawab (divine reward). Our beloved ProphetSAS had commanded us to sight the moon and start fasting and also to sight the moon and break fasting. Some traditions in this matter even ask us not to start fasting without sighting the moon and not to stop fasting without sighting the moon. Moreover, the ProphetSAS used to sight the New Moon himself and used to pray to God and thank Him if the Crescent was sighted. This humble Faqueer, assures you all that if at least ten percent of the Muslims make an effort to sight the New Moon on the 29thof the Lunar Month, there would be no dispute anywhere in the world about the new month. So let us follow the Sunnah and be rewarded by our Lord, the Merciful, and the Munificent. May God keep us on the right way. Amen.
