On Tuesday (April 13), Muslims across the globe marked the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan by offering prayers and observing a fast.

The moon sighting committee of the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia on Sunday announced that the first fast of the month of Ramadan in Gulf region will be on Tuesday, April 13.

As India observes the first fast one day after Saudi Arabia, this year Ramadan in the country will begin on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 and end on the evening of May 12, 2021.

The moon India was sighted on the evening on April 12 and Muslims across the country will observe their first fast or Roza, tomorrow. 

During fasting, one is not supposed to eat or drink anything before the sun set. People wake up before sun rise to have their first meal known as ‘Sehri’ and they break their fast with the evening meal called ‘Iftaar’. 

The pious month of Ramadan falls in the ninth month of Islamic calendar and it starts after the sighting of the crescent moon. The next day after Ramadan marks the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.
