The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
“Do not fast immediately before Ramadan. Fast when you see the new moon and break it when you see it. If cloud obscures it, then complete the thirty days.”
[at-Tirmidhi – Taken from Riyadh As-Salihin]

Assalamu ‘Alaikum,
Today marks the 1st of Sha’ban 1433. There were positive moon sighting reports from Morocco and South Africa last night and therefore the month of Sha’ban has now commenced.
May Allah grant us a long enough life span to meet the month of Ramadan with open arms insha Allah.
