Caesarean Moon Births: Calculations, Moon Sighting, and the Prophetic Way

Every year, there is always a confusion at best - or argument at worst - about the sighting of the Crescent Moon to commence the lunar month. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf's writes at the beginning of the book:"Those who question why we cannot calculate our moon dates when we calculate our prayer times will find unequivocal answer's in this paper"I think he calls the book a paper as it is concise, but it does indeed answer the question.Another thing I loved was that Shaykh Hamza cites pretty much everything in this book; an exciting reading list awaits at the end of the book. I bought the kindle edition, and the citations are all in-line, and the formatting and everything is great. At only 2.99, it's a steal!

Hamza Yusuf is an excellent, logical writer who writes with an easy to understand style. This book clearly enunciates the Islamic principles regarding moon sighting and refutes the discrepancy issues with reason. If you're curious to know why there is so much confusion regarding moon sighting, or need a good book for educational purposes, this is an excellent read.

Worth reading. Definitely made me think about a subject I was pretty stable in my mind on.

Fantastic scholary work by Sheikh !Hamza Yusuf
