Ramadan 2024 moon sighting: Ramadan is considered the holiest month in Islam. The day holds immense significance as it is believed that the Quran was unveiled during this holy month, which is also known as Ramzan. It is the ninth month in the Muslim Lunar Calendar and is considered to be the most significant time according to Islamic culture.
During the month, Muslims observe obligatory fasting — one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith — known as ‘Roza’. The fast begins with daybreak with sehri, and as the sun sets each day, the fast is broken, with a meal known as iftar, which becomes a moment of celebration and delicious food.
The month of Ramadan is an exercise in self-restraint and self-discipline. It is observed to achieve greater ‘taqwa’ or consciousness of god and to physically and spiritually detoxify by getting rid of impulses and vices.
During this month, ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ and ‘Ramadan Kareem’ are the most common greetings exchanged, wishing the person a blessed and generous month, respectively.
The crescent moon of Ramadan has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, and Ramadan will begin tomorrow, ie March 11, Monday. Taraweeh Prayers will begin in the Two Holy Mosques after Isha Prayers. The sighting of the Ramadan moon was announced by the Majmaah University Astronomical Observatory
