Each hilal, signaling the beginning of a new month, is one of the signs of Allah. This particular hilal opens a new hijri year, 1442, and welcomes Muharram, the Month of Allah.
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases – that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know
— Holy Quran, Surah Yunus 10:5
May Allah count us among those who know His signs and allow us to make a continuous hijrah towards all that brings us closer to Him.
Ameen.
