MAKKAH: When it comes to sighting the new crescent moon, one Saudi family is light years ahead of most.
For more than 100 years, members of the hawk-eyed Al-Barghash family have been spotting the moon each month without the use of telescopes or other modern devices.
The tradition has been passed down through generations of the family from the central Saudi city of Tumair, 140 km northwest of Riyadh.
“This is a gift from God that we enjoy and seek to teach to our children after we have inherited it from our parents and ancestors,” Mutaib Al-Barghash told Arab News.
He said his father and friends used to stand on a watchtower to sight the crescent of Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, and the month of Dhu Al-Hijjah.
