Beginning of Ramadan Announcement

"Oh ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to
those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint," Quran 2:183 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IslamiCity, November 25, 2000:

The Higher Judiciary Council in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced
that Ramadan 1, 1421 will start at sunset  time on Sunday, November 26,
2000. The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), in consultation with the
Fiqh Council of North America, has also confirmed the same starting date for
this month. Therefore, the first day of fasting of Ramadan will insha'Allah
be Monday, November 27, 2000.

For those interested in sighting the crescent, the available data indicates
that the moon's conjunction will occur on November 25, 2000, at 11:12 pm
Universal Time, i.e., 3:12 pm Pacific Standard Time. Hence, moon sighting is
impossible on November 25. Furthermore, it will be 28th of Sha’ban on
November 25. On November 26, the moon’s age will be 25 to 28 hours in North
America. This moon will, insha’Allah, be seen in North America. It will be
relatively easier to see in southwestern region of North America, and
difficult to see in northern states.

In its continuous efforts to bringing the Muslim Ummah together and by using
the most advanced technologies, IslamiCity is pleased to broadcast, for the
third consecutive year, the daily prescribed and Taraweeh prayers live from
Makkah and Madina.  For the viewers whose schedules don't permit them to
view the Taraweeh prayers  Live, the prayers will be recorded for on-demand
view.
