Allama H

aji Gulam

ali Haji Ism

ail, born in Bhavnagar, is popularly known as H

aji Naji. H

e was a

muballigh w

ith a clear vision, persuasive oratory and a lucid pen. Through the columns of a M

onthly m

agazine called Rah-e-N

ajat, first Translation of the Qur'an in G

ujarati and over 400 religious books, his w

ords have transcended generations as much as oceans in m

aking the Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri C

omm

unity what is is today.

Mulla A

sgharali M. M

adhan 1355 AH (25th N

ovember 1936),

Death 14th D

hul Hijjah 1420 AH

(21st March 2000)

Mulla Asghar, born in M

ombasa w

as the Founding President of The World Federation. Through his

humanitarian w

ork in relief of poverty and education, he is acclaimed as one of the m

ost visionary leaders for the entire Shia C

omm

unity of our times. An orator and a w

riter par excellence, his lectures and w

ritings have helped many to rekindle the Islam

ic spirit, especially within C

omm

unity newly settled

in the West over the past 4 decades.

New

Moon - The N

ew M

oon phase is defined to be the mom

ent when the m

oon is almost directly

between the Earth and the Sun. At this m

oment the m

oon’s dark surface faces the Earth. The New

Moon

is completely invisible. The date and tim

e of this invisible New

Moon is com

monly found in alm

anacs, new

spapers and calendars.First C

rescent - The Islamic m

onth begins with the visible First C

rescent and not with the invisible N

ew

Moon. The First C

rescent is usually sighted in the western sky just after sunset on the first or second

evening after the New

Moon phase. The sighting depends upon the altitude of the crescent above the

horizon, the time difference betw

een sunset and moonset and the angular distance betw

een the sun and the m

oon.Visible C

rescent - One should not confuse the N

ew M

oon with the visible thin crescent. It should be

realised that the new crescent follow

ing a lunar month of 30 days w

ill be brighter and stay longer in the sky than the crescent follow

ing a month of 29 days.

Regional Variations - The Islam

ic dates are based on expectation of crescent sighting in Europe calculated from

the latest available scientific data. During 1436/37 A.H

. regional variations may occur for

some m

onths. To fulfil the Shariah requirements w

e will continue to ascertain that the actual sighting has

occurred on the days expected.
