Look Mom…No Moon!
Last night was a trying one as reports of the new crescent moon were fielded. Several reports were made from the continental U.S. that at best were sketchy. Most were negative sightings. I surmise that most people celebrating Eid today will be doing so on the single report that came from Chile. To those of you celebrating today, Eid Mubarak! May God fill your Eid with joy and blessings uncountable and May God accept all your fasting, prayers, and recitations of the Quran.
For those of you waiting to complete 30 days because there was no local sighting of the moon, I commend you for patience and commitment to following the Path of the Prophet. I will post for you later this evening a photo of the local moon here in the S.F. Bay Area. Below was the sky and location of where astronomy said the moon would be. Beautiful nonetheless, the sky did not reveal the moon’s beauty.
Till later this evening. Peace.
