Just a short entry to tell you all...at last anak bulan can be seen in Malaysia. Anak bulan can't be seen at Masjid Abu Bakar Johor Bahru due to cloudy weather but got moon sighting report from Kerteh Terengganu and Muar that anak bulan can be seen there! 31 August 2011 is the REAL date of 1st Syawal 1432 in Malaysia. I am so happy! To all Muslims in Malaysia, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI 1432 Hijrah and MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN.

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.

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...
