Introduction
These days many Muslims, ignorant and ‘enlightened’, feel that the sighting of the moon for the commencement of the new Islamic month, Eid and Hajj is an outdated practice which should be done away with. They accuse the Ulama of being backward and being against progress and scientific inventions. They claim that life would be much easier if we instead submit to modern day instruments of observation and observatory reports regarding the sighting of the moon.
