Ramadan kareem all, whether you have started today, or tomorrow.

This is an fascinatimg video on the subject of moon sighting, that was extracted from our tafseer series.

Let us elevate our understanding this ramadan, and a good way to start is going through our tafseer playlist.


Description of video


Lunar and Solar movements are exact and can be calculated as testified to by Quran
Examples of where this link is made by Quran:
- Surah Israh - days and nights signs - so you know the number of years, Hisaab - calculation is mentioned for the number of years
- Surah al Anam - The dawn break til night - Sun and Moon as Husbaan - exact calculation
- Surah Rahman - Sun and Moon with exact caluclation (Husbaan)
- Another place -night and day sun and moon - swimming in an orbit
- Falaq - used for spindles - Stresses regularity and circular movement

Mistake of Ibn Taymiyyah - In contrast Ibn Taymiyyah said Allah did not establish for the rising/set of the moon a well established straightforward calculation - yet Ayyah says exactly the opposite
- Mixes astronomy with astrology - uses narration which relates to witchcraft and misapplying it
- Denigrates and says its a major haram/against ijma (which is completely erroneous)

Discussion on Hadith related to this Subject which essentially rely on 2 or 3 Hadith
The Main one narrated by Abdullah Ibn Umar because he heard the Messenger of Allah SAW saying the wording
- Hadith mentions calculating/taqdir - calculate for it, Taqdirlahu

Fasting a day of doubt and as a precautionary measure is being extreme by narration

The use of word Seeing (Ra'a) - and its meaning in narration in this context and reference to meaning in instances in Quran
- Discussion on conventions and setting of days/times
- Christendom persecution of scientific development and sassanid Empire (zorastrian)

Coming of Islam saved the knowledge and imported more from India and China and advanced further

Ibn Abbas point of view on large distances and differences in sightings
There are indeed differences, How to solve this, how to have a unified Muslim Calendar?
- This Ayah (2:189) gives a hint
- Mentions Establishing time for Hajj specifically - Professor Argues because Hajj has timing and location - connects space and time to a have consistent calendar
- Without having a unified calendar you have contradictions
- Therefore calendar should be calculated according to calculated visibility (exact calculation) according to Ayah
- a certain location on earth which is the reference point for Salah (Qibla) and Hajj
