This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, we start the 2018 Moon Wars!
Before we get too far into this episode, it needs to be noted that at B.C.’s house there were some very bad thunderstorms; and since he is the “tech guy” for this show – when his power goes out the show goes out. So sadly, this is not a full episode. However, we did continue the train of thought started here on the next episode!
This episode starts with the eternal question of – when does Ramadan start?
Do we look at the calendar where is has been calculated, or do we wait for the moon to be spotted? But what if it totally overcast and nothing can be seen?
But is this really the best way for us to be spending our time? Given the situation in Palestine/Israel – is it best to spend our energy arguing over a moon sighting?
All of this leads to another question which Imam Azhar asks, is it just us or does it seem like every Ramadan something happens to distract us for our worshp?
