Usually,

on the night before Eid,

After praying my Maghrib Salat,

I enthusiastically go outside to search for the new moon and then email my report to Moonsighting.com.

This time I was simply too tired to go outside.

Unusual for me.

Alhumdulillah,

There were three Moonsighting Reports from Canada posted,

at least two of the reports are from my home province of Ontario.

If I read correctly, one of the reports is from a Brother who is from Ottawa, Ontario, but is in the State of Maryland, USA from where he made his report, not sure if he is indeed in Ottawa tonight . . .

 

1. Seen: Mr Ishaq Majeed from Ottawa Ontario reported:

We (a group of 7 Muslims) sighted the new moon of Shawwal in Maryland.

Clear skies, about 60 degrees farenheit.

The moon was about 45 degrees southwest from the Planet venus.

2.  Seen: MCW member Shahid Rashid from Mississauga Ontaio reported:

Sighted.

I went with my two sons 16 and 23 years old.

We sighted the moon with lot of difficulty after 30 minutes of sunset.

The moon was very faint and extremely difficult to find.

Allah helped us because there was small star and I was looking through binoculars whether that was the glimpse of the moon or what and after few minutes of staring at it,

the moon appeared in my view but still kept disappearing.

It was really a marvelous sight Alhamdulillah.

Note the moon was almost 30 hours old and still so faint.

3. Seen: MCW member Shakeel Anwar from Mississauga Ontaio reported:

Alhamdullilah the hilal was sighted tonight at 9:15pm on May 12th, 2021.

The moon was approximately 3 degrees above the Western horizon in the constellation Taurus the Bull.

The horns of the moon were oriented pointing to the northwest, in approximately a 10 o’clock orientation.

To the right of the moon was the planet Venus.

Resilient Hour | from the Islamic Institute of Toronto

The hour before the breaking of the fast is perhaps the most difficult;

yet it signifies the strong will of the believer to take the hardship of the day to its conclusion and to take comfort in the knowledge that we will accomplish yet another day of worship.

MOON SIZE AND APPEARANCE TONIGHT 30TH RAMADAN

Usually on the 30th the crescent should be easily visible and should appear big.

Moonset is mostly more than an hour after sunset if the conjunction occurred before sunset the previous day.

InshaAllah this evening because conjunction occurred 8pm after sunset last night, by sunset tonight the crescent will be about 22hrs plus old and will set about 42 mins after sunset inshaAllah but it will not be easily visible.

This will further confirm that conjunction occurred

This will further confirm that conjunction occurred last night and will also confirm that the sighting claims of last night were errors.

We are in contact with most of the people that claimed sighting it, it’s important to mention that all the sighting claims were received

it’s important to mention that all the sighting claims were received after 8pm last night , after H.E the Sultan has declared today 30th.

As usual we always follow up on the sighting claims and I can authoritatively say out of all the claims received, so far none of the

so far none of the sighting claims has passed the test questions that was agreed upon by the National moonsighting committee to help verify error sighting claims.

The questions are as follows:

1) was sunset visible same evening at the location ( sometimes people claim that sunset wasn’t visible but yet the crescent was sighted)

2) position of the crescent when it was seen ( sometimes the moon appears above sunset, on the right or on the left position of sunset).

3) time the crescent was first seen

4) time the crescent was seen last

5) the crescent’s shape ( orientation 🌙) the shape varies for every month. This is the most important factor, because the crescent will maintain same shape next day. None out of the claims

This is the most important factor because the crescent will maintain the same shape next day.

None out of the claims matched this month’s crescent orientation (with technology it’s possible to know the shape even before conjunction).

As usual we urged all of them to go out and search for the crescent again tonight.

If they sight it tonight ( though inshaallah the crescent will not be easily visible tonight like I mentioned earlier),

it will be obvious to them that their sighting last night was an error.

We will still follow up with them tomorrow evening inshaAllah when the crescent will be clearly easily visible and the shape will be visible to all.

Shawwal – Eid Al-Fitr 1442/ 2021

1st Shawwal / Eid Al-Fitr 1442 is on 13 May 2021.

The Crescent Council of Canada hereby officially declares Eid Al-Fitr (Shawwal 1st) for Thursday the 13th of May, 2021.

Ramadan will conclude with 30 days. 12th May being the last day of fasting.

We wish everyone a blessed Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak.

We pray for accepted fasting, worship and charity.

May the world quickly heal from the current pandemic.

There were no reports of reliable sightings across the international horizons on the eve of 29th Ramadan (11th May).

Astronomical calculations also indicate the impossibility of sighting.

We are aware of reported sightings in Niger, Mali and Cote D’Ivoire however are not accepting the reports due to the sun setting before the birth of the new moon in the region.

We further have verification of no sightings in Mauritania, Algeria, Tunis, Libya, Lebanon, Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe. “

Every Ramadan since I began 30 Masjids in 30 Days,

Except when I was out of town doing 30 Masjids Canada and 30 Masjids Vancouver,

And again Last Year because of the Pandemic,

I made an effort to visit and pray inside the Bosnian Islamic Centre in Etobicoke.

This year, the masjid has been closed during Ramadan.

I still wanted to at least visit it in person,

Even if only standing in front of it.

So I did today, Day 29 of Ramadan 2021.

Eid Mubarak Everybody !
