Ramadan 2024 is expected to begin in the evening of Sunday, March 10th or Monday, March 11th, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. This is because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, which is shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar. As a result, Ramadan falls about 10 days earlier each year.
Here’s a summary of Ramadan 2*024:
Start Date: Evening of Sunday, March 10th or Monday, March 11th (depending on moon sighting)
End Date: Expected to be Tuesday, April 9th (exact date depends on moon sighting)
Eid al-Fitr: Likely to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10th (exact date depends on moon sighting)
Additional Points:
Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk.
Eid al-Fitr is a joyous celebration that marks the end of Ramadan.
