The next new moon occurs on Thursday 19th July, 2012 at 05:24 BST. On this day it cannot be seen anywhere in the world by an unaided eye. On Friday, 20th July, 2012, it can easily be seen in Africa, Americas, Australia, and South-East Asia. On Saturday, 21st July, 2012, it can easily be seen in Europe and the rest of the world.
A rationale for the beginning of Mahe Mubarak Ramadhan, 1433AH, has been agreed by Hilal Advisory Team of the Council of European Jamats and has been forwarded to Najaf for guidance from His Eminence Ayatullah ul-Uzama Syed Sistani (May Allah Protect him). Depending on guidance from Najaf, we will publish a statement on Friday 20th July, 2012, after Maghribayn. Saturday, 21st July 2012, will, InshaAllah, mark the completion of 30 days of Sha’baan, 1433AH. Expect 1st Mahe Mubarak Ramadhan, 1433AH, on Sunday 22nd July, 2012 for Muqallideen of His Eminence Ayatullah ul-Uzama Syed Sistani (May Allah Protect him).
For the Muqallideen of Marhum Ayatullah Al-Khoei (May Allah Elevate his status), 1st Mahe Mubarak Ramadhan, 1433AH, will be on Saturday 21st July, 2012. |
