| Altitude (Degree)@18:00 |
~10° 55` |

Age of Moon: Waxing Crescent : ~ 0.24 days old.
Set Time difference : ~2 minutes
Based on the Astronomical data report, the Sun sets at 6:56 Pm @ (294° WNW), and 6:54 pm @ (289° WNW) for the Moon which makes out only 2 minuets before each set below the Horizon.
On this day, the Moon sets nearly 2 minuets before the sun, which makes the crescent sighting not only difficult but impossible.
The New Moon will be in conjunction with the Sun @ 12:08 UTC+4, however based on the astronomical calculations and personal experience , the Crescent (Hilal) will NOT be visible across the country.
Therefore Shaa’ban will continue its 30 days
Ramadan will start on Sunday, 29th June 2014 InShaAllah (If God Wills)
Please note, Actual Ramadan starts after the Sunset on Saturday 28th ..
(Not to get confused, The Arabic new day always starts after Sunset)
