Habib,

Balal na la, balal ma ahhah.

Astronomical calculations instead of actually sighting the moon? I have no issues with the rest of the Islamic World going along with the Makkans sighting of the moon as the start and end of Ramadan, but is the new standard of going with astronomical calculations  sunnah?

Thanks sister Jabou 
thank God the whole universe this year starts on the same day ie 13 th sept and 
will celebrate eid on 13 th october 2007
from now on we will all noy look for the new cresent moon  as the new global 
standard will use makkah as the target for the whole world and  now based on 
astronomical and mathematical calculations only 
we know when eid will fall for 5 years now without complains ( except the 
bangladashis and indo pakistanis) inshallah this is a good move to unify the 
ummah
 
balal ma ahhah 
may we meet next years ramadan in good health inshallah
habib Diab ghanim
