Thank you for this excellent presentation. It reminds me of my beautiful childhood experiences of waiting for my father and our elder male family members to go out sighting the moon to determine the end of Ramadan and let us know later, Masha Allah.

That's the beauty of following the sunnah. It's more than just sighting the moon but connecting with the nature and creations that Allah has created. You won't get that same feeling if you do calculation.

I found this description of the lunar moon sighting fascinating....thank u for the patient and clear explanation. I find myself now connected to the sighting process as an ibadah....not just a static act that had little meaning for most. In Syaa Allah the sighting of the moon to mark end of Ramadan this year will hv so much more meaning for me.. .and the people that i shared this with....

Humankind has safely landed on the moon in July 1969, thanks to the significant advance in the field of Astrophysics. However Muslims are still searching for the new crescent moon even though the visibility is hindered due to the weather, dense cloud cover, atmospheric pollution, humidity and other impediments despite the presence of the new crescent moon in the sky. It is an embarassment and a shame that the Muslim ummah is disunited in deciding important dates of the various events in the Muslim calendar. If it is imperative that Muslims uphold the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad in this modern age why is it that both the Imams of Masjidil Haraam and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and for that matter all Imams world-wide are not using the Prophet's original method of determining the time of the five mandatory prayers (e.g. measuring the lengths of the shadows cast by a wooden pole) but are instead using the modern clock based on pre-determined astronomical calculations? The following Quranic verses allude to the feasibility of calculating the important dates in the Muslim calendar: فَالِقُ الإِصْبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ سَكَنًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَانًا ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (الأنعام: 96) Al-An'am, 6:96: (He is the) Cleaver (of) the daybreak and He has made the night (for) rest and the sun and the moon (for) RECKONING. That (is the) ordaining (of) the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing. هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاءً وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ (يونس: 5) Yunus, 10:5: He (is) the One Who made the sun a shining light, and the moon a reflected light and determined for it phases, that you may know (the) number (of) the years and the CALCULATION (of time). Not created Allah that except in truth. He explains the Signs for a people (who) know. الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ (الرحمن: 5) ar-Rahman, 55:5: The sun and the moon (orbit) by (precise) CALCULATION, Let us put a stop to the hassle and the shameful disunity in the Muslim ummah and decide once and for all on a lasting paradigm in determining the dates of the important events in the Muslim calendar. It would help tremendously the Muslims who form the minority in Western countries to plan ahead for their holidays. In-shaa Allah.

​​@@truthseekerultimate8331You make a good point, and people forget that the Prophet gave his ruling at a time when modern scientific calculation technologies had not yet been invented. Now that we do have those technologies available to us today, it's absurd to shun them in favor of an unscientific method under the misguided belief that the Prophet wanted us to remain stuck to old obsolete ways because that is somehow the true reflection of true faith.

Thank you for sharing your ideas.As we are confused about it.

Thank you. This is the first time I learn why we have 10 days difference between Lunar and Gregorian calendars. Lunar calendar allows Ramadan around the world to move across the world by 10 days each year. This means no Southern nation fasts during the long summer days forever and no Northern nations fast the short cold days forever. Same for the Eastern and Western Muslim nations. Allah the Merciful and Just.

Subhan Allah - simply brilliant 🌙

Amazing, thanks for bringing such knowledgeable facts.

Powerful. It's emotional too. You can hear it in the voice of the presenter and see it in his eyes

Barak allaku feek and thank you for such a wonderful and insightful presentation. Notes for southern hemisphere: * Minimum trajectory still in Autumn, set in west. * Maximum trajectory still in Spring, set in west. * Summer will set SOUTH of due west (as opposed to the NORTH in northern hemisphere) * Winter will set NORTH of due west (as opposed to the SOUTH in northern hemisphere) * Tips of crescent will be facing to the RIGHT (as opposed to the LEFT in the northern hemisphere) * Lit side will be mainly to the LEFT/bottom (as opposed to the RIGHT/bottom in the northern hemisphere) Hope this helps.

This video is fascinating, masha'Allah. I believe Dr. Youssef Ismail gave a workshop in the past to the general community on the lunar months and sighting the moon. Any plans for this to happen again in the future?

Mashallah ! A great effort and lovely to hear of your experiences moonsighting and reviving this amazing tradition. Just to point out , the word “hilal” translates to “new crescent” and NOT “new moon”, as you have translated in the hadith at 1:24 The word hilal refers to the first visible phase of the moon. However “new moon” by definition is invisible. The month in this Islamic calendar begins with the new crescent 🌙 (hilal), and it does NOT begin with the new moon 🌑

MashAllah what a amazing presentation. May Allah reward you for your hard work. This is the type of standards all Muslims should aspire to.

Wa Alikum Assalaam, Masha Allah thank you so much!

May the Almighty Allah jalla-jalla-lahoo bless you for your wonderful explanation and confirmation of the Sunnah of our master and beloved of Allah subhana wa ta'aala Maulana Muhammad-e-Mustafa sallalaho aleihi wa sallam. May He guide all those that deny the Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad aleihi sallam, so that we can all celebrate and commemorate on the same day, United as One Ummah.

MashaAllah finally Dr. Yussef Ismail has clearly explained scientifically and theologically the rationale of moon sighting. Thanks and JKkK.for your efforts in presenting the facts. The most important problem that the wrong dates cause, is they jeopardize our calculations for laylatul Qadr because not everyone can stay up all 10 nights for ebadah and if we want to chose odd nights to stay up they cause massive discombobulation, and difficulty. If naked eye moon sighting is simpler and revives the sunnah then why make things difficult for everyone. Thanks for brilliantly explaining. Asma.

Alhamdullilah. The best ever. Tqvm

Very well done. Moon sighting as a part of our relationship with Allah and the cosmos. " The Sunnah the Better" . The reality of from the Man who split the moon(Peace and Blessing be upon Him)

Hopefully this beautiful explanation for practicing the Sunnah in its virtue of finding the moon Visibly will put an end to all the lunatic debates

The Case is Rested.Allhamdoullillah. The crescent moon has always sent me into a delightful awe. "My Lord and your Lord is Allah".

This really does settle it, if anyone doesn’t get convinced by this then I think it’s their ego talking

This was a great presentation. I do wonder, though, what is the thought/tradition of the moon being sighted in different areas? Let's say Malaysia or Australia see it but Europe or America don't - do they all follow their own calendar, or follow the first sighting and try to confirm it as much as possible? Thank you again!

Incredible video. It's simply amazing. The only issue I felt was incorrect is to disregard any moon sightings when the moon is less than 24 hours old. There were lots of eye witnesses in North America for this year's Eid-ul-Fitr, when the moon was just 19 hours old.

Jazzak Allâhu Khayran..

Greetings from the Philippines! Alhamdulillah I am now challenged to see if I can do moon sighting in our place. But I wonder if the moon patterns (azimuth etc) will be different when sighting from an equatorial country?

Thank you very much for this useful explanation. Would it be possible to also have an explanation with regards to whether the crescent can appear differently in different parts of the world i.e. visible/non-visible (aside from weather differences), and whether it was the sunnah to follow local moon sighting? Thanks

@sharifsaviation

2 жыл бұрын

Probably crescent would not be different and there is nothing called local moon sighting cause sighting it self is local thing! There is not much information/study about moon and phases on polar regions! In my opinion that study might bring more light on the topic you have pointed out!

Asalamualaikum doctor Ismail. This is a wonderful, clear and beautifully presented video with such calmness as well. I remember the days of my childhood when our local masjid elders would climb on top of the masjid to seek the moon which now I understand was in the north and north west part of the southern hemisphere and us children would get very excited to see it too, barely over the trees and houses. It was such a beautiful moment in these old days of simplicity. I now fully agree that sighting is the sunnah to follow. But I have one question I would like to ask, is that based on our Prophet Muhammad PBUH hadith quoted in this video, is it sufficient for one country in the world to sight and confirm sighting, for the whole world to then follow (meaning that the hadith should be understood as universal and for local geo or demographics)?

Are those trajectories valid for both hemispheres?
