Islamic Moonsighting Information
A website (also by a ISNA moonsighting coordinator) at www.hilal-sighting.com . Quite useful if you for example want to know whether to fast tommorrow? Brother Durrani has been quick to put up the moonsighting observations for Ramadan in North America.
Astronomy in Islam is the
best Islamic moonsighting general website. Moonsighting is usually a
animated source of discussions on Eid --now you can get more than a
superficial insight by delving into some of the issues and methodologies
involved. This site is developed by a consultant to ISNA and the Islamic
Shura council on this very question! The site also contains some
interesting points on prayer times and calendar conversions. ( On a
related topic, Dr. Monzur Ahmed’s MoonCalc 4.0
--settable with Shaukat’s
Criterion-- can be downloaded to get the diagrams you see in Astromony
in Islam .
