Get ready, folks! The Islamic month of Ramadan is just around the corner. According to Crescent Moon Watch, the new moon marking the start of Ramadan is expected to appear on March 21 at 17:23 GMT (8:23 pm Mecca time). However, no sightings are anticipated on this night.
As per Time and Date, the moon is predicted to rise at 6:49 am and set at 7:19 pm today. If the skies are clear in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Pakistan, and South Africa, the new moon could potentially be seen without optical aid.
If the moon is sighted, the first day of fasting during Ramadan will be observed on March 23. Otherwise, the first day of fasting will be on March 24. So, keep your eyes peeled and your calendars ready!
To get into details, Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and its exact start date can vary depending on the sighting of the moon. However, based on the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan is expected to begin on April 2, 2023.
To determine the time of the moonrise at the beginning of Ramadan 2023, we need to know the geographical location of the observer. The exact time of the moonrise can vary depending on the observer's location, as well as the weather conditions.
However, we can use an online moonrise calculator to get an estimate of the time of the moonrise on April 2, 2023, for a specific location. For example, in New York City, the estimated time of the moonrise on April 2, 2023, is around 7:21 PM EDT. In London, the estimated time of the moonrise on the same day is around 7:23 PM BST.
It's important to note that the exact start date and time of Ramadan may vary based on the sighting of the moon in each region. Muslims around the world rely on their local moon-sighting authorities to determine the start and end of Ramadan, which can vary by a day or two based on different interpretations of the lunar calendar.
