We had the power go out for a couple hours last night and broke out all the candles. Was kind of like a reminder of what Ramadan nights would have been like a hundred years ago.

Numerous reports from experienced moon-sighters all across North America have come in negative. Additionally, there have been no credible reports of the new crescent moon (hilal) of Ramadan being sighted anywhere in the world on the evening of Tuesday, February 17th. Thus the sunnah would complete the 30 days of Sha'ban and begin Ramadan 1447 AH Wednesday evening with the first day of the fast on Thursday, February 19th. View quoted note →

Look for the new moon of Ramadan this Tuesday evening February 17 (after 29 days of Sha'ban). 🌙 The crescent would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to sight its emergence, and it is the sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ. Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Tuesday evening a "naked-eye" (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon will be highly improbable in North America and around the world.

There is a particular nuance that is unique to converts to Islam where it is somehow assumed that we aren't convinced and that our embrace of Islam is wrapped up in emotional baggage rather than Divine transformation. I personally find it insulting and absurd. Who would sacrifice family and social relations for anything without full certainty of conviction?
