Determining Beginning Date of Ramadan 2025 / 1446H
The beginning of the month of Ramadan, as well as the end of the month, is determined by sighting the crescent. If the crescent was not sighted, then the month would be completed by thirty days, as is the case with determining all the months of the lunar calendar. This is taken from the Hadîth of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلّم related by Al-Bukhâriyy and Muslim: « لا تَقَدَّمُوا رَمَضانَ بِيَومٍ أَوْ يَومَين صُوموا لرؤيتِه وأفطِرُوا لرُؤيتِه فإنْ غُمَّ علَيكم فأكْمِلوا عِدَّةَ شَعبانَ ثلاثينَ يوما », which means: « Do not fast one or two days before Ramaḍān. Start the month when you see the crescent, and end it when you see the crescent. If you are blocked from seeing it, then complete thirty days of Shaʿbân. »

Allah God has no Beginning
Allah existed without beginning, that is, before creating creation. There was nothing with Allah: no place, no space, no sky, no Earth, no light and no darkness. According to the rules of religion and the judgments of the sound mind, Allah, the Exalted, does not change. Development is a sign of need for others, and whoever needs it is not God.

The Mental Proof that Allah (God) Exists
This universe is created, it is born, it needs who created it and who makes it change. This world with all the creations it contains must have a creator who is alive, attributed to the will, knowledge and power ; and it is Allah taʿālâ. Allah is the creator of all things existing. The healthy mind does not accept the existence of an action without someone executing it.
