Anak Bulan Zulhijjah 1432

"Tengok anak bulan" or crescent moon sighting is not only for Ramadhan and Syawal. Each month in the year of Hijrah will be decided after moon sighting.

Crescent moon

Here is the moon sighting report from Malaysia..

Anak Bulan

Anak bulan if translated direct to the point in English means child moon or moon's child. It's weird to call anak bulan as child moon in English so don't call it child moon or moon's child anymore. Actually anak bulan or crescent moon known as hilal in Arab language. Anyway, I will call it anak bulan since it was used to be call like that in Malaysia.

Anak bulan will be visible in early month of Hijrah

Based on the picture, you can see anak bulan clearly above KLCC building if the weather is bright and it is not obstructed by cloud. Actually I should have research about anak bulan and posted this entry earlier before our Government announced the first Ramadhan...
