Ramadan 2024: Muslims around the world observe Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, as a period characterized by fasting, prayer, introspection, and community. Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, is a time for Muslims to enhance their religious beliefs and practices, marking the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad.
The festive occasion of Eid al-Fitr signifies the conclusion of the fasting month of Ramadan and the beginning of the following lunar month. Considering the projected conclusion of Ramadan 2024 in the evening of Tuesday, April 9th, it is probable that Eid al-Fitr 2024 festivities will begin either that evening or the following morning on Wednesday, April 10th. This date is provisional and contingent on moon sightings in the period leading up to the commencement of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar, which commences after 29 or 30 days of fasting.
Ramadan commences annually at the moment the crescent moon becomes visible for the first time. Due to its lunar calendar origin, the dates advance by an estimated 11 days annually. In 2024, the month of Ramadan will commence on the evening of March 10th. Consequently, on Monday, March 11th, the first complete day of fasting will occur. In preparation for a month of increased spiritual awareness and self-control, Muslims observe the commencement of Ramadan through contemplation, prayers, and meals with family and friends. Ramadan is anticipated to conclude on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024, in the evening.
