Abstract:

 

In accordance with the act of praying and some judgments of the actions
 it is very important to define the beginning of the lunar months correctly in Muslim’s
 daily life. Nevertheless one of the current problems of Muslim is their different
 definition about the beginning of Ramadan. This differentiation was normal
 and reasonable for the past periods. Today, however, with regard to astronomical
 developments the declaration of the beginning of Ramadan within three or four
 different days can not be justified and not be seen reasonable. By the time of the
 holy Prophet the definition of the beginning of the lunar month was based on an
 easy and understandable method for practicing of the people. This method based
 on the observation of the new moon with eye in order to define the beginning of
 the lunar month i. e. Ramadan and under the condition if the new moon is invisible
 it must be completed thirty days. So this method of the definition had been
 used for ages.
 The calculation of the beginning of the lunar month is more reliable today
 than the observation of the new moon with eye. Now it must be regarded that the
 new moon can be specified by calculation.
