SUMMARY:*Canceled* Skygazing for New Ramadan Moon
DESCRIPTION:Assalamu Alaikum MCC Family!With no verifiable sightings of the new crescent\, the first night of Ramadan will be tomorrow\, Wednesday\, Feb. 18\, after Isha (8 p.m.) led by Qari Amar Bellaha.The first day of Ramadan fasting begins on Thursday\, Feb. 19\, insha’Allah.Alhamdulillah\, we have been blessed with another opportunity to witness this holy month. We will stream Taraweeh live each night.

Due to overcast skies\, we have little chance of seeing the new crescent moon. MCC will review reports from other parts of the country. The new moon will be easily visible tomorrow evening\, inshaAllah.Therefore\, we expect the first day of fasting to be on Thursday\, February 19\, and the first night of Taraweeh prayers to be on Wednesday\, February 18. Qari Amar Bellaha leads Taraweeh prayers at MCC after Isha at 8 p.m.MCC will send an email notification this evening once we have received the final visibility reports.\nMCC adheres to the traditional science of naked-eye (unaided) new crescent moon (hilal) sighting to begin and end our Islamic lunar months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith clear skies\, the crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to witness its emergence\, and it is a sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ that we hope our ummah continues to revive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Due to rain in the forecast\, this event has been canceled.* \nCrescentwatch.org encourages everyone to go out to look for the new crescent moon (hilal) on the evening of Tuesday\, February 17th (after 29 days of Sha’ban) in anticipation of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Tuesday evening\, a “naked-eye” (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon will be highly unlikely in North America and worldwide. You can check the visibility forecast for your region here (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HBTWMP8bcAMqsPp?format=jpg&name=large).  \nWe will make a determination and final announcement regarding the start of Ramadan as early as possible\, but no later than Tuesday\, 7:30 pm PT. Please go out to look for the new crescent moon and submit your moon-sighting report here (http://www.crescentwatch.org/cgi-bin/cw.cgi?action=2).  \nThe crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to witness its emergence\, and it is a sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ that we hope the ummah revives. Crescentwatch.org adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on the confirmed\, naked-eye sighting of the new crescent moon.  \nRevive the Sunnah to go outside and look for the new crescent moon in the evening sky that will mark the beginning of Ramadan. \n\n\n\nJoin us in the MCC parking lot after Maghrib sunset prayers (5:53 p.m.) on Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026\, and join in the excitement when the young crescent moon (hilal) ushers in the Holy Month of Ramadan. The Tri-Valley Stargazers will be in the parking lot (weather permitting) with high-visibility telescopes\, allowing us to peer into the night sky starting at 6 p.m. \nJupiter\, Saturn\, and Mercury (possibly Venus) will be visible if the evening sky is clear. \n\n\n\n\n\n523 Southern Halal BBQ food truck will sell dinners\, and Habibi’s Falooda will provide dessert from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on confirmed\, verified naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon globally. MCC will confirm the start of Ramadan in its newsletter on the evening of February 17 (subscribe at https://mcceastbay.org/newsletter). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the new moon is sighted on Tuesday\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026\, and the first day of fasting will be Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the new moon is not sighted on Tuesday\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026\, and the first day of fasting will be Thursday\, February 19\, 2026.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe MCC homepage (mcceastbay.org) and MCC’s automated phone menu (925-485-1786) will announce the start of Ramadan by about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday\, February 17. \n\n\n\nSince sunset will be at 5:53\, we will likely be able to see the new moon by about 6:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC observes the beginning and end of lunar months following the sighting of the crescent moon. Please watch this video by Dr. Youssef Ismail from Zaytuna College for an explanation. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nThe du’a to recite if the crescent is sighted: \n\n\n\nاللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ، والسَّلامَةِ والإِسْلامِ، وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ \n\n\n\nAllaahumma ahillahu ‛alaynaa bil-amni wal-eemaani\, was-salaamati wal-islaami\, wat-tawfeeqi limaa tuḥibbu watarḍaa\, rabunaa wa rabbuk-allaahu-  \n\nO Allah\, let the crescent loom above us in peace and faith\, safety and Islam\, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.  \n\n(Source: Sunan Al- Tirmidhi) \n\n\n\nQari Amar Bellaha will also be in the Hayward Hills on this Tuesday evening to look for the new crescent moon. If sighted\, he will read the special dua from high atop the hills and head down to lead the Taraweeh prayers on Tuesday at 8 p.m. He will be live-streaming his moonsighting atop the Hayward Hills at https://mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
