The MagicMuslims solve the Ramadan moonsighting issue...

The MagicMuslims are here again, using their cartoon superpowers to make the world a better place. They bring levity and humour to a world that needs a smile. They are 'Ordinary Muslims, with extraordinary powers.' Brought to you by Spirit21, if you haven't seen them before, you can read more here.

Muslims follow a lunar calendar, and the beginning of each month is signalled by the sighting of the new moon. This becomes a particularly frenzied and controversial affair for the highly auspicious month of fasting, Ramadan, and leaves many confused over how such a simple matter ever got so complicated...

Enjoy the cartoon.

Salaams,

Okay, that was funny. Silly..but funny.

I was hoping for a little cartoon about the moon sighting fiasco that plagues us American Muslims every year. Perhaps you should consider something like that.

Inshallah, we'll be starting Ramadan this evening in my part of Atlanta. I haven't found out yet, but there's always some mosques that gotta be different. Perhaps start a day earlier or a day later.

I hope that doesn't happen this year, Inshallah. Then we'll only have to worry about sighting the moon for Eid ul Fitr.

Still hoping everyone gets the most rewards possible for this Ramadan, Inshallah.

Salaams and Ramadan Mubarak to all.
