Assalaamu alaikum Alhamdulillah and may Allah bring us into the 'month of mercy', Ramadhan, with a lot of blessings. I seek forgiveness from those I might have offended and forgive all those who might have offended me. I exhort myself and you to tone down argumentation in respect of this great month as adviced by the Prophet (SAW). If someone tries to quarrel with you, tell them you are fasting. Allahumma a'inna ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibaadatika ( O' Allah, help us in remembering you, thanking you and worshipping you in the best manner. Below is information about the sighting of the moon today in certain parts of the Muslim world. Courtesy, www.ramadhan.org Welcome to ramadhan.org - 29th Sha'aban 1420 AH During the blessed Islamic month of Ramadhan this site, Insha'Allah, will provide a free email notification service on the sighting of the moon (to mark the beginning of Ramadhan and the day of Eid) and provide on a daily basis Muslim news from around the world, Islamic culture, explanation of Qur'an and audio and visual talks on vital Muslim issues including a regular talk from Masjid Al Aqsa. All praise is to Allah. The moon was sighted on the 29th of Sha'ban (7th December) in Yemen, Libya and Algeria so in accordance with the following hadith the first day of Ramadhan and fasting will begin tomorrow (8th December): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Fast at its sight (the moon) and break fast at its sight. If it turned out to be cloudy over you, then complete Sha'ban for thirty days". [Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar. Sahih Bukhari 3.131] Ramadhan.org would like to take this opportunity to extend warm ramadhan greetings and invites you to visit the website where new material will be added on a daily basis throughout this blessed month. We once again invite and welcome all Muslims to visit on a daily basis what has become over the last three years a very popular site, providing material in English, Allahumma salli wasallim alaa Nabiyyina Muhammad.
