The development of science is the result of the return of scholars to Indonesia from Makkah and the Middle East. From then on, several falak figures were born with their works with various calculation methods and continue to grow until now. One of the scholars known as a falak expert is KH.

Muhammad Salman Al-Banjari uses the hisab 'urfi method which is an easy, fast and simple calculation system; Because the calculation only takes into account the average travel of celestial bodies without using astronomical data so that it does not consider several things such as those contained in the method of hisab haqiqi taqribi, hisab haqiqi tahqiqi, and contemporary hisab haqiqi, namely lunar azimuth, latitude of place, low horizon, refraction, semi diameter, etc.
