The night prayer has actually brought in a larger than usual number of worshippers. Today, the arrival of the brand-new moon may herald the start of the holy month of Ramadan – the Muslim month of fasting. In an effort to observe the Sunnah of the Muhammad (PBUH), some worshippers are busy attempting to sight the brand-new moon when the call to prayer is made. After the prayer, the Imam is notified that the new moon has actually been spotted. Members of the council also validate this news. This triggers worshippers to praise each other and the mosque is filled with the chants of Allahu Akbar (God is fantastic).
For this group the holy month of Ramadan has begun. Yet Muslims in numerous other mosques are still debating whether the brand-new moon has been sighted. Sunni Muslims typically want to Saudi Arabia for responses to this, along with lots of other religious matters. Although ISNA (Islamic Society of The United States And Canada) has established for North American Muslims, a Shura (or consultation) council for handling questionable religious problems (such as moon sighting), lots of Imams in local mosques decide such matters on their own.
Every year, this story is repeated among Muslims in numerous towns all over the world. This pillar of Islam begins with controversy among Muslims and ends with debate. Shias have their own clerical system and their Imams seek to Iran in this matter rather than Saudi Arabia. One questions if this is the way our messenger Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions began and ended the holy month of Ramadan.Since the Quran
prescribed fasting particularly in the month of Ramadan, it is very important to know the significance of this unique time.

It informs what the result of that action will be in this world, if it is successfully performed. In this method the Quran provides a pragmatic test for individuals to see whether or not they are approaching that desired result. Regarding fasting, the Quran states: O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to
