Weather of Arabia - Association of the Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought

According to the statement of the Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought, the first day of Ramadan will be Tuesday, May 7, 2019, as announced today by the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs.

Many of the countries and committees that observed the crescent this evening announced that the sighting of the crescent was not proven, namely Australia, the Sultanate of Brunei, India, Pakistan, the Shiites of Iraq, Namibia, Nepal, the Sultanate of Oman, Pakistan, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom (Wifaq Ulama Association).

The Kingdom of Morocco announced that the sighting of the crescent was not proven, after observing it by 278 specialized committees in various parts of the Kingdom, and what confirms its decision are these pictures of astronomers from various regions of Morocco from the north, center and south.

The association is surprised by the unjustified decision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to announce the sighting of the crescent in an atmosphere of clouds and dust witnessed by the monitoring cities, preventing the devices from monitoring, so how about with the naked eye?? Where the Sultanate of Oman was unable to see it with a number of 25 committees equipped with advanced technology, and for the first time using artificial intelligence technology.

It is worth noting that the time for questioning the accuracy of Maghrib in determining the beginning of the Hijri months has ended, and accurate astronomical scientific calculations confirm this.
