The Hilal Shawwal witnessed a greater size than the usual after the sunset, which was explained by the director of the International Astronomy Center, Eng. Muhammad Odeh Shawkat, that if the Hijri month begins a correct start dependent on the vision of the crescent and then completed 30 days, the size of the crescent is large after sunset today, because the moon moves away from the sun every day by a large amount of 13 degrees as an average, and this large movement makes the size of the crescent increase in one day only. According to what “Emirates Today” reported.
He added that the lesson of the health of the month is not always linked to the form of the crescent, but the lesson is to watch the crescent on the evening of the twenty -ninth of AH, if the values of the crescent on that day are less than the values that allow its vision, then the next day is the complement, and in which the crescent is high and relatively large and to demonstrate this with an example of the current month of Shawwal, then the sunset of the moon on Saturday was ten minutes after the sunset of the Arab world, and thus the majority of Islamic countries announced It is proven to see the crescent, and that Sunday is the complement, and since the date of the moon’s sunset is 50 minutes late every day, this means that the moon on Sunday is absent after the sunset of more than an hour, and it appears relatively significantly, and that does not mean the mistake of the beginning of the month, but the opposite is the right, so the crescent does not appear small after sunset the thirty day or after sunset the first day of the new Hijri month.
He pointed out that after sunset the first day of the Hijri month, we have entered the second night of the Hijri month, and therefore the crescent that we see is the crescent of the second night and not the first, and the size of the crescent must be large at the time and commensurate with the crescent of the second night.

Odeh added: “On Sunday, March 30, the moon was absent 74 minutes from the sunset for the city of Riyadh, and after 82 minutes in Amman, after 81 minutes in Cairo, and after 93 minutes in Rabat, but after sunset today, Monday, which is the first day of the month of Shawwal in the majority of Islamic countries, the crescent will be very large and will stay more than two hours after sunset, and this is very natural through the sequence of previous numbers.”
