FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad, 27th day of Shaabaan (Sunday, 13th May). RAMADAN MOOD ACTIVATION. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. In shaa ALLAH, from today, our daily Islamic reminders will be focusing on the blessed coming month of Ramadan. As muslims we must know that all the blessings for this noble month approaching would never be achieved unless we understand its rulings from ALLAH and the Messenger and implement its rulings as it was practised by the Messenger and the Righteous Salaf (Pious Predecessors). It is imperative on the general body of muslims to take special care in counting the days of the month of Sha'baan in preparation for the month of Ramadaan. This was the practise of the Messenger. This is of great importance because the Islamic Month consists of twenty-nine or thirty days. The month starts with the sighting of the crescent which indicates its beginning. If however it is so cloudy that the crescent cannot be seen, then the thirtieth day of Sha'baan is completed and the new month (Ramadaan) begins from the following day. ALLAH has set up the moon for mankind as a means of keeping record of months and years. Based on this, therefore, the Islamic month does not exceed thirty days. This is also established in the Sunnah of the Messenger. Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger (S) said: "Fast whenever it (the new crescent) is sighted and break the fast when it is seen. If it is hidden from you (due to cloudiness) then complete thirty days for Sha'baan" [Bukhaaree and Muslim]. From the above its important we don't Start mentioning any specific day to Start fasting but rather wait till the sight of the moon or complete 30 days Shaabaan. We ask ALLAH to unite this ummah from any satanic influences. Aameen.
