*Sighting the New
Moon of Ramadan is Fard Kifayah{!}*
It is obligatory to
witness the New Moon for establishing certain acts of worship... if these acts are obligatory, such as Fasting 'Ramadan' & 'Hajj'. Then witnessing the New Moon also becomes obligatory on the Muslim 'Ummah'~ {'Fard Kifayah'} That is because --- “what
is necessary to fulfill the requirements of an obligation is an obligation itself.”
The 'Sunnah' 'Dua' upon seeing the New Moon.
The Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) taught us the 'Dua' to read when we see the new moon. so make an effort to sight the 'Ramadan' Moon with full attention and eagerness and say this 'Dua' on sighting
the new moon...{!} { In Shaa Allah } Transliteration
Allahu `Akbar, Allahumma `ahillahu `alayna bil`amni wal`eemaani, wassalaamati
wal-`Islaami,
wattawfeeqi lima tuhibbu Rabbana wa tardhaa, Rabbuna wa Rabbukallahu . Translation: Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, let the crescent loom above us in safety, faith, peace, and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.”
A Neglected 'Sunnah' ? It is a part of the beauty of Islam anticipating when Fasting will start. When will 'Eid' be ? This builds up the excitement and love of these blessed times. And there is deepest wisdom in how Allah {Subhanahu wa Tala} ordained these issues.
This was the way of the Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam), the 'Sahabah'- and the Early generations, (including the Four Imams) Yet, it is sad to see many Muslims getting lost in the fast track world of machines and calculations and neglecting this act of 'Sunnah' ! thus losing out on the chance to earn reward from their Rabb for following the Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and his guidance{!}
PLEASE REVIVE THE 'SUNNAH' {!}
So work hard to revive the 'Sunnah' of the Prophet
(SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and
Please don’t belittle it. Practice it yourself, teach it to your children and others. Reviving aspects of the 'Sunnah' that are being forgotten is one of the most important charitable deeds that a person can do during his lifetime and is a deed that will bring an immense reward...{!}
PROPHET (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) said..
'Whoever revives an aspect of my 'Sunnah' that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward.' (Source: Tirmidhi)
PROPHET (Sallallahu `Alayhi Wasallam) also
said... ‘Pay attention to
my 'Sunnah' and the way of the Rightly guided 'Khalifa's' after me, adhere to it and hold fast to it.’ { Source: Saheeh Abi Dawud }
“And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms and supports it,
such are the men who do right. They
shall have all that they wish for, with their Rabb. Such is the reward of those who do good: so that Allah will remit from them (even) the worst of their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done.” {'In Shaa Allah'~ 'Aameen'}
