crescentwatch.org
======================
The new crescent moon (hilal) of Shawwal has been sighted by naked-eye on the evening of Thursday, March 19th by experienced sighters in multiple locations across North America (New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and more to come). Join them in this blessed sunnah, go out tonight, and share your sighting report with us!
This marks the start of the month of Shawwal and the arrival of Eid al-Fitr. We will be celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Friday, March 20th, insha'Allah.
We wish everyone in all places at all times a blessed Eid Mubarak. May Allah accept your fast and all your efforts during Ramadan.
* Crescentwatch adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on the confirmed, naked-eye sighting of the new crescent moon.

Look for the new moon of Shawwal on Thur. March 19 (Eid probable for March 20)

======================
Crescentwatch encourages everyone to go out to look for the new crescent moon (hilal) on the evening of Thursday, March 19th (after 29 days of Ramadan) in anticipation of the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal and the arrival of Eid al-Fitr.
Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Thursday evening, a "naked-eye" (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon will be probable in all of North America.
If the moon is sighted on Thursday, March 19th, Eid al-Fitr will occur on Friday, March 20th. Otherwise, we will complete 30 days of Ramadan, and Eid will fall on Saturday. (Check the visibility forecast for your region here.) We will post our final determination on Thursday here as soon as possible, but no later than 8:00 pm PT.
Please go out to look for the new crescent moon and submit your moonsighting report here. The crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset, above the area where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to sight its emergence, and it is a sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ that we hope the ummah revives.

As Ramadan begins.... we pray that all Muslims would repent and turn from this demonic ideology and accept the one and only true living God, Jesus Christ.
That is the only type of post we should be seeing about Ramadan.
