The Ramadan crescent moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, meaning the holy month will officially begin on Tuesday, April 13, according to an official announcement from the Kingdom’s Supreme Court.
The sighting of the moon was confirmed by a team of astronomy observers in Saudi Arabia’s Hautat Sudair, a small village located at an intersection between Riyadh, Sudair, and Qassim, 140 km north of the capital Riyadh, according to Al Arabiya.
1.8 billion Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan. The holy month involves a month of fasting – believers taking part will not eat or drink anything during daylight hours – and prayer.
The Saudi-U.S. Trade Group team extends our wishes that you may be blessed with peace, health, and love.
