                This Sunday is Ramadan's first full day. I hope our fasting will improve our character and guide us to be more righteous and God-concious people.

                Peace,
                Edip

                Salaam
                Ramadan starts from Sunday evening and first fast is on Monday

                  Do Not follow thou the vain desires of such as treat Our Verses as falsehoods

                  But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and believe in the (Revelation) sent down to Muhammad-for it is the Truth from their Lord He will remove from them their ills and improve their condition (47-2)

                  This because those who are disblelievers follow falsehood, while those who are believers follow the Truth from their Lord Thus does Allah set forth for men their lessons by similitudes. (47-3)

                          if you was born on feb 20 and it was first hijra next year it should fall same month on 20 feb and same season.

                          do you now the hindi or punjabi months name i will show you they are based on season and never change.

                            They ask thee concerning the New Moons (Crescent). Say they are but signs to mark fixed periods of time for men, and for pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back; it is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors and fear Allah that ye may prosper. (2-189)

                            Thus? the mark of Ramadan month is the beginning of new moon, according to Quran and not to Me or You.

                              They ask thee concerning the New Moons (Crescent). Say they are but signs to mark fixed periods of time for men, and for pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back; it is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors and fear Allah that ye may prosper. (2-189)

                              Thus? the mark of Ramadan month is the beginning of new moon, according to Quran and not to Me or You.

                              On August 1, 2007 ISNA Fiqh Council (ISNA FC) changed its rules for Ramadan and Eidain again.

                              Saudi Dates of Ramadan, Eidain and Hajj
                              Saudi dates are not fixed by the crescent moon seen in Makka. Since 1999 (1420AH) Saudi first date of Ramadan, etc. begins at sunset of the 29th day if

                              ISNA followed Saudi dates for decades and has finally discarded the moon-sighting in the USA. Islamic Hijri dates published in the ISNA calendar and on the web of Mr. Khalid Shaukat (www.moonsighting.com) copy the Saudi dates and are incorrect. For correct dates (always fixed by Hilal in the US go to www.Islamicmoon.com.

                              5. Some UK Muslim groups have adopted ?Morocco sighting? as valid for UK.

                              6. Toronto Council in 2007 decided to go by a sighting in the Caribbean. Some Mosques in New York, Buffalo, etc. follow Toronto decision.

                              The yearly season for fistfights among the Muslims begins from Ramadan and ends with Muharram. The fasting month starts and Eids celebrated on 4 -5 different solar dates and the world laughs. But everyone blames the others for the mess.

                              Allah and His Messenger (S) have provided clear guidance of Ahilla (waxing crescent moons) for us to start / end the Islamic month. That is how the Muslims have determined the beginning of an Islamic month for fifteen centuries.

                                  sorry i think the moon sighting is not the right method, lets take the prophet birth day for example it rotate freely and never comes in same season same apply to ramadan and haaj and eids.

                                  if you was born on feb 20 and it was first hijra next year it should fall same month on 20 feb and same season.

                                  Peace

                                      http//www.iki.rssi.ru/mirrors/stern/stargaze/Sjewcale.htm

                                      Keeping up with both Sun and Moon
                                      If the Jewish calendar only followed the Moon, it would get quickly out of step with the seasons, which follow the cycle of the Sun--the holidays would migrate and you might get Passover in the fall, Rosh Hashanah in the spring, Chanukkah in mid-summer. That is what happens in the Moslem calendar, which only follows the moon.
                                      Consider the month of Ramadan, when observant Moslems fast from sunrise to sundown. Ramadan this year was in early winter--the best time, because days are short, nights are long, your fasts are short too and you do not get too thirsty from heat. But wait 15 years! Then Ramadan will have migrated to mid-summer, when days are at their longest, the heat makes you quite thirsty (especially in countries like Arabia and Egypt), and fasting all day long is a much greater ordeal.

                                      But the ancient Babylonians found a way to keep up with both the moon and the sun. Their priests were excellent astronomers--helped, no doubt, by the clear skies in a country perched at the edge of the desert.
