Islam Moors ----
The birth of the crescent Moon was not sighted in the Americas Tuesday.

Therefore, the month of Shaban completes its 30 days Wednesday (2/17) at sundown.
The first of Ramadan starts Wednesday (2/17) at sundown.

Therefore, Moorish Americans following the method of local sighting of the moon via naked eye (and this year, Morocco too):

▫️*Set our intentions to fast and pray, tomorrow night, Wednesday, Feb 18 (1st of Ramadan)*.
▪️Fasting starts Thursday morning before dawn, Feb 19.

Peace & Love,

Islam, Ramadan update from Crescent Watch

*SUMMARY:*
▪️​If sighted Tonight: *Set intentions* to fast tonight. Fasting starts tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb 18. (Highly unlikely)

▪️​If NOT sighted Tonight: the month of Shaban completes 30 days tomorrow (Wednesday). *Set intentions tomorrow night*. Fasting starts Thursday, Feb 19. (Most likely outcome)

*DETAIL EXPLANATION*
Tonight we will begin looking for the birth of the Crescent 🌙 moon that signals the end of the Islamic lunar month of Shaban, and the start of the lunar month of Ramadan.

There can only be 29 or 30 days in any lunar month, and tonight will complete the 29th day of Shaban.

Therefore, *if no crescent 🌙 moon is sighted in the Americas (with the naked eye) by tonight*, then tomorrow (Wednesday) will be the 30th day of Shaban, and the month of Ramadan will officially begin tomorrow at sunset.

If seen tonight, Shaban completes with 29 days. We set our intentions tonight and the first day of fasting is tomorrow.

If not seen tonight, this automatically means Shaban completes 30 days tomorrow. We set our intentions to fast tomorrow night and the first day of fasting will begin on Thursday, February 19.

Islam Moors -

The Holy month of Ramadan is upon us - drawing near. It is the month in which Allah sent the Quran of Mecca to be revealed to the Prophet Mohammed by the Holy Breath (Ruh Al Quddus).

Fasting during the month is enjoined upon us by Allah himself, in the Holy Quran of Mecca. --- Our Prophet Noble Drew Ali himself proclaimed the Quran of Mohammed as the revealed word of God Allah (See Moorish Lit.: " _Moorish Leaders Historical Message to America_ ").

As, "Our Authority" states we have a mandate to teach "the faith of Mohammed", also stating the MSTA derives its "authority and power" to teach said faith -- from the Great Quran of Mohammed, and our Nationality and Identification card declares us Moslems under the divine laws of the Holy Quran of Mecca.

Fasting is enjoined upon all Moslems, by Allah. As it is a form of spiritual weight-lifting, and a form of purification. Those who engage it with the intention to test their inner strength - will find success (Allah willing).

If you are interested in fasting or ask questions concerning how to fast - look for our article at mstofa.net. (Sacred days, Sacred Month)

Moors, we use a local sighting method to signal our start of the Month of Ramadan, and fasting. Allah says in the Quran (concerning the crescent 🌙) - "start the fast when you see it, stop fasting when you see it". Therefore...

Home Office will Give the Word to Go, when the birth of the crescent 🌙 is confirmed. In the meantime, we invite everyone to go out and sight the moon with your children. If any of you clearly sight it (without doubt), send pictures by replying here, or email to [email protected] .

Upon seeing the birth of the 🌙 moon, we set our intentions to fast that night, and then begin our fasting the next morning.

Peace & Love

Home Office.

We propagate the Faith of Mohammed.The faith of Mohammed was and is the Oneness of Allah. We attempt to define this oneness as the causeless cause, the rootless root.
