We are so near with Ramadhan month. As I mention last year in "Anak Bulan" entry, if you want to check the Hijrah calendar you can't just write it down like the AD (Addo Domini). AD year or mostly known in Malaysia as "Tahun Masihi". You need to moon sighting every month to check if there is a moon crescent aka anak bulan.

That's why Hijrah or Hijri calendar also known as Lunar calendar. If you have a calendar with a Hijrah year on it seriously it's a mess up unless you do the moon-sighting every month and you write it down yourself. The mess up starts from 1 Safar 1433 which should be on 27 December 2011 but according to our "standard" calendar at home the 1 Safar was on 26 December.. From there, we're following the wrong calculation of Hijrah year until now.
So, when is the real date for moon sighting early Ramadhan?
