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
