| Sighting of the Crescent. 
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (radiAllahu anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
mentioned Ramadan and said:-
"Do not fast unless you see
the crescent of Ramadan{!!!} and do not give up fasting till you see
the crescent of Shawwal {!!!} but if the sky is overcast (if you cannot see it)!
then act on estimation
(i.e. count Sha'ban as 30 days)."
[Source:-Sahih Bukhari: Book #31, Hadith #130]
Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala says:- It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time).
Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness.
(Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand. {Source :- Al-Quran: Surah Younus ~ Ayah 5)
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiAllahu anhu):
The Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said:-
"Start fasting on seeing the crescent (of Ramadan),
and give up fasting on seeing the crescent (of Shawwal),
and if the sky is overcast (and you cannot see it),
complete thirty days of Sha'ban."
(Sahih Bukhari: Book #31, Hadith #133) 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: - The month (of Ramadan) may consist of twenty nine { 29 }days; so when you see the new moon observe fast and when you see (the new moon again at the commencement of the month of Shawwal) then break It, and if the sky is cloudy for you, then calculate it (and complete thirty days). (Source :-Sahih Muslim: Book #006, Hadith #2368)
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (radiAllahu anhu): The Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said:- "We are an illiterate nation; we neither write, nor know accounts. The month is like this and this, i.e. sometimes of 29 days and sometimes of thirty days." (Source:-Sahih Bukhari: Book # 31, Hadith # 137) Narrated Ibn 'Umar (radiAllahu anhu): - The Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
holding out his ten fingers three times said:-
"The month is thus and thus and thus,"
namely thirty days.
Then (holding out his ten fingers twice
and then nine fingers),
he (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said,
"It may be thus and thus and thus,"
namely twenty nine days. He meant once thirty days and once twenty nine days. (Source :-Sahih Bukhari: Book # 63, Hadith # 222) Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (radiAllahu anhu) : Allah's Apostle (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said:- "The month (can be) 29 nights (i.e. days), and do not fast till you see the moon, and if the sky is overcast, then complete Sha'ban as thirty days."

But will abide {Forever} the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour" {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 } 'Wasting time is Worse than Death!
