The Crescent of Ramadan 1445/2024 has been sighted in Saudi Arabia. This marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, a period of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide.
The sighting of the crescent moon was confirmed by religious authorities in Saudi Arabia after careful observation. As a result, Ramadan 1445/2024 will officially commence tomorrow, on 11 March 2024.
With the commencement of Ramadan, Muslims around the world will observe fasting from dawn until sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs. Ramadan holds immense spiritual significance for Muslims, serving as a time for self-discipline, increased devotion, and acts of charity.
In addition to fasting, Muslims will engage in additional prayers and acts of worship throughout the month. One notable tradition during Ramadan is the Taraweeh prayers, which are performed in congregation during the evenings. It has been announced that Taraweeh prayers will begin in the Two Holy Mosques after the Isha prayers, providing worshippers with the opportunity for communal worship and spiritual reflection.
As Muslims eagerly anticipate the arrival of Ramadan, communities worldwide will come together to observe this sacred month, seeking spiritual growth, forgiveness, and blessings. The sighting of the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia heralds the beginning of a period of spiritual renewal and devotion for Muslims across the globe.
