Weekend Sky #97 – April 22nd

A new moon!

Right after the sunset, just when dusk is at its glory.

A new moon sends out the signal of joys and happiness among billions across the world.

Being able to see it, right at the time of its birth, is certainly a moment to behold.

Can you see it in the picture above?

This Friday evening, I placed my smartphone on my rooftop to make a time-lapse video.

The picture above is a still from that video.

Have you spotted the new moon in it?

Here you go 🙂

I was unable to set the zoom properly for the time-lapse video, otherwise it would have been much clearer.

But since it is a new moon, so seeing even the faintest glimpse of it, especially of Eid-ul-Fitr is nothing but pure joy.

The star above is Venus.

The last 30 days went so fast. What seemed hard in the beginning, turned out to be as easy as pie in the end.

The practices followed in those days were just not for the holy month.

They are meant to be observed for rest of the year as well.

To ensure a cleansed up mind, body and soul.

Hello there!

Hope you are doing well.

Right now, the Muslim community around the world is celebrating the Eid-ul-Fitr.

The holy month of Ramadan ended yesterday in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world, when the new moon for the Islamic month of Shawwal was sighted after the sunset.

So yes, this means joyful festivities with family and friends, along with praising the ALMIGHT ALLAH for all the blessings HE showers upon us.

This also means enjoying mouth watering meals at home, for which I’m looking forward to.
