SIGHTING THE NEW MOON OF 'RAMADAN

SIGHTING THE NEW MOON OF 'RAMADAN' IS FARD KIFAAYAH*~{'QUR`AN~DUA~REVIVING A 'SUNNAH' OF PROPHET~ (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam). 

 

 'Bismillah  Walhamdulillah Was  Salaatu  Was   Salaam`ala  Rasulillah' 

****************************************************

'As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu'

*Sighting the New Moon of Ramadaan is Fardh  Kifaayah{!}*

 It is obligatory to witness the new moon for  establishing certain acts of worship... 

  If these acts are obligatory, such as Fasting 'Ramadan' & 'Hajj'... then witnessing the New Moon also becomes  obligatory on the Muslim 'Ummah'~ { 'Fard Kifaayah'.}

 That is because ...“ what is necessary to fulfill the  requirements of an obligation is an obligation itself. ”

The 'Sunnah' 'Dua' upon seeing the New Moon... The Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) taught us the 'Dua' to read when we see the new moon.

 So make an effort to sight the 'Ramadan' Moon with full attention and eagerness and say this 'Dua' on sighting the new moon...{ In Shaa Allah }Transliteration:  Allaahu `Akbar, Allaahumma `ahillahu `alayna bil`amni   wal`eemaani, wassalaamati wal-`Islaami, wattawfeeqi 

 limaa tuhibbu Rabbanaa wa tardhaa, Rabbunaa wa Rabbukallaahu .

Translation:Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, let the crescent loom  above us in safety, faith, peace, and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You.

Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.”  A  Neglected  'Sunnah' ? 

It is a part of the beauty of Islam anticipating when Fasting will start. When will 'Eid' be ? 

This builds up the excitement and love of these blessed times.  And there is deepest wisdom in how Allah {Subhaanahu wa Taala} ordained these issues.

This was the way of the Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam), the 'Sahaabah', and the Early generations,

 (including the Four Imams) Yet, it is sad to see many Muslims getting lost in the fast track world of machines and calculations and 

 neglecting this act of 'Sunnah' ! thus losing out on the chance to earn reward from their  Rabb for following the Prophet 

SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and his guidance...{!}   PLEASE  REVIVE  THE  'SUNNAH' {!}  


  So work hard to revive the 'Sunnah' of the Prophet  (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and Please don’t belittle it. 

  Practice it yourself, teach it to your children and others. Reviving aspects of the 'Sunnah' that are being forgotten is one of the most  important charitable deeds that a person can do during his lifetime 

  and is a deed that will bring an  immense reward...{!} PROPHET (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) said.. 'Whoever revives an aspect of my 'Sunnah' that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward 

equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it skeptical  in the least from their reward.'  (Source: Tirmidhi) 

PROPHET (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) also said... ‘Pay attention to my 'Sunnah' and the way of the  Rightly guided 'Khaleefahs' after me, adhere to it and hold fast to it.’

{ Source:  Saheeh Abi Dawud } And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms and  supports it , such are the men who do right.They shall have all that they wish for, with their Rabb.

 Such is the reward of those who do good: so that Allah will remit from them (even) the worst of  their  deeds and give them their reward according 

  to the best of  what they have done.”'In Shaa Allah'~ 'Aameen'}{Source:  'Qur’an'~ Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops)  39~A #'s 33-35~}
