Moonsighting is the traditional Islamic practice of determining the beginning of the lunar month by visually sighting the new moon. It is an important aspect of the Islamic calendar, as it marks the beginning of key religious events and observances, such as Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Moonsighting is usually conducted by a group of qualified individuals who scan the sky for the thin crescent moon shortly after sunset. Once the new moon is sighted and confirmed, it signals the start of the new month in the Islamic calendar. Moonsighting has been a part of Islamic tradition for centuries and is considered a communal activity that fosters unity and cooperation among Muslims worldwide.
