Finally, eclipse day! ๐ŸŒ‘โ˜€๏ธ Months of planning, and Iโ€™m flying to northern Spain to chase totality. Clouds are keeping the final destination uncertain, so the chase begins after landing in Bilbao. Ya Allah, make it possible to witness totality. ๐Ÿคฒ Clear skies to all! โœจ

For those of us settled abroad, every time we return home, we realise some elderly people in the village, along with friends and family, have passed away. Their absence leaves a deep, heartbreaking void. May Allah grant them Jannatul Firdaus and fill their graves with ู†ูˆุฑ peace.

In this article, I explore the crescent moon that likely marked the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah during the Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ in 632 CE. Through ahadith and astronomical analysis, I try to understand what that crescent may have looked likeโ€”and reflect on observing a similar moon myself centuries later. junedpatel.com/farewell-hajjโ€ฆ

The Prophet ๏ทบ described to his companions ุฑุถูŠ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู†ู‡ู… the difference between the false dawn and the true dawn. The first image is my own photo, taken in the UK on 6 March 2026, showing the Zodiacal Light after sunset. The same phenomenon was captured by Artemis II on 3 April 2026. Zodiacal Light can be observed as a faint glow either before sunrise (false dawn) or after sunset (false dusk). The Prophet (๏ทบ) said, "The Adhan pronounced by Bilal should not stop you from taking Suhur, for he pronounces the Adhan at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not mean that dawn or morning has started." Then he (the Prophet) pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas`ud imitated the gesture of the Prophet). Az-Zuhri gestured with his two index fingers which he put on each other and then stretched them to the right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears. It spreads left and right horizontally. The dawn that appears in the high sky and lowers down is not the real dawn. (Sahih al-Bukhari 621)
