     Ruiyat-e-Hilal Announcement for SAFAR 1427 Hijrah
      (By Hazrat Peer O Murshid Abulfatah Syed Nusrat Qibla Tashrifullahi)

 On Tuesday, the 28th of February 2006 i.e. 29th of Muharram 1427 H there was no positive moon sighting report till late night from our Observers (Shahideen) or from    other sources and the same was reported earlier.                                                   
 
Moon sighting reports started to appear on the internet only on Wednesday' 1st of March 2006 and most of them were not convincing. However, when contacted Dr. Khalid Shaukat of moonsighting.com has communicated a report sent by the Imam of a Mosque in Austin, Texas in which the Imam states that he along with over a dozen Muslims sighted the Hilal of SAFAR with naked eyes immediately after the Maghrib prayers on the 29th of Muharram 1427 H. In addition to this there are  few more moon sighting reports from other locations which are also convincing.                                                      
In view of this our community is hereby informed that the 1st of SAFAR happens to be on the 1st of March 2006.
