As Salaamu Alykum to all.

RAMADAN 1426 AH IS EXPECTED TO START ON THE DAY OF WED 05 OCT 2005 CE
FOR MOST OF THE WORLD, INSHALLAH.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE HILAL (CRESCENT MOON) OF RAMADHAN 1426 AH
TO BE VISIBLE ON THE EVENING OF MON 03 OCT 2005 CE FROM ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD.
HENCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR RAMADAN 1426 AH TO BEGIN ON TUE 04 OCT 2005 CE
FOR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Ramadan 1426 CE for North America (USA and Canada) [along with most of the
countries in the Central and Southern Hemisphere] is expected (most
probable)
to start from the Day of Wed 05 Oct 2005 CE, with worldwide sightings of
the Hilal on the previous evening of Tue 04 Oct 2005 CE, inshallah.

For USA and Canada, the Hilal would "MOST PROBABLY" be sighted in the South,
South-Central and Western USA on the evening of Tue 04 Oct 2005 CE, in which
case
Ramadan, for USA and Canada, would start on the day of Wed 05 Oct 2005 CE.

Please look at updates on these webpages and elsewhere for the latest
information.

Please note that any Solar Eclipse occuring on the same date as an
Astronomical New Moon date does NOT automatically imply that a Hilal
will not be seen on that evening. The cross-reference between the Gregorian
and
the Islamic dates (MOST PROBABLE) is as follows, inshallah:

Oh goody. Now we'll get Uncle "Bigot" Al's knee-jerk response - there
certainly isn't anything higher in his neural pathways.
But didn't you respond before? So your "plonk" is BS (how apt !)

Quote from Physics Web (website of the Institute of Physics)



"One of the UK's leading research labs and the Muslim Council of Britain
have launched a project to improve our knowledge of the lunar calendar as
part of Einstein Year. The Moon Watch project encourages the general
public - especially amateur astronomers and the Islamic community - to
record when they see the new crescent moon and enter the details on a web
site. The exercise should help create more accurate lunar records, which
could benefit religions that use the lunar calendar to set important dates."

I dont know if you realize this or not, but this type of material just
might not be appreciated by the majority of Americans at this point in
time. Just trying to help. Have a wonderful Monday.

Of of course to cater to the preferences of the majority is a
great criteria when choosing ones actions.

In general, I don't see this sort of vile reaction (not referring to
Don's post) when people post Happy Thanksgiving or Christmas wishes.
They are much less astronomy related that the regular monthly posts
about the moon.

Oh well .. we'll continue to see these monthly announcements, and the
parade of ignorant (and at this point predictable) reactions.

Suit yourselves.

When was the last time someone yelled "Happy Thanksgiving" or Merry
Christmas" after which they set off a bomb killing inocent people ?

This is a perfectly appropriate group for this type of posting. It's
totaly wrong to stigmatize an entire religion because of the actions of
a few fanatics. Haven't we learned anything from the 20th century?
Haqven't we learned anything from the Catholic Inquisition of the 15th
and 16th centureies? I won't even start on the Crusades. If we want to
continue sharing this world, and maintaining human existence here,
mutual tolerance coupled with mutual condemnation of murderous
fanatics is a prime directive.
