What does it mean to see a hilal?

[green]

Assalamu Alaykum...

This Ramadan that past Me and my friend were in our room then we were reading the Quran and watching salat videos on my laptop at about 3:30 am or 4 am,and the light was off and suddenly we heard something outside so we turned our heads looking everywhere in the room while were on the bed and I looked up at the ceiling and saw a hilal and looked back at the laptop thinking I might be imagining it.Then suddenly my friend told me did you see something up there I was shocked and told her the spot I saw it and she said yes so I knew I wasn't imagining it..It was actually for real..So tell me please what is it?

It was the same one as this one that we saw.

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

Its nothing to worry about as seeing the moon or looking out and searching for the moon is an act of worship.

People look out for the moon at the beginning of Ramadhan, and at the beginning of every other month. It is not something you should be worried about, but something you should be happy about, as it does entail gaining reward.


Jazak'allah for your question.
