Important dates, the fasting schedule for sehri and iftar times in India, and the moon sighting for Ramadan 2024


Ramadan 2024 Moon Sighting: On March 10, in the evening, Muslims in Saudi Arabia began fasting. On March 11, they began their fast. As a result, India will celebrate the first day of Ramadan on Tuesday, March 12, one day later.

Ramadan 2024 Moon Sighting: Ramadan, often called Ramzan or Ramadhan, is rapidly approaching as a holy month. It is regarded as the most significant time for Muslims globally and is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

Muslims in Saudi Arabia began fasting on Monday, March 11, following the sighting of the Ramadan moon in the evening of March 10. As a result, India will celebrate the first day of Ramadan on Tuesday, March 12, one day later.

 One of the five pillars of Islam is Ramadan, and it is during this holy month that the Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.) received his first revelation of the Quran.

Muslims maintain a stringent fast known as Rozah from sunrise to sunset every day throughout the month of Ramadan. Iftaar and Sehri are the two components of Roza.


Devotees rise early each day to eat ihri, or the first meal of the day. When the day is done, they break their fast in the evening with an evening meal known as iftar, which consists of dates and water.
 
2024 Ramadan: Eid al-Fitr

Ramadan's holy month comes to a conclusion on Eid al-Fitr, or Meethi Eid. The observation of Eid al-Fitr on the next day is confirmed by the sighting of the crescent moon on the final day of Ramadan.

Date of Eid al-Fitr 2024

Eid-al-Fitr is anticipated to fall on Wednesday, April 10, this year. This is only a tentative date, though, as the actual start of Ramadan in 2024 depends on the moon's sighting.
