Srinagar: The crescent of the month of Ramadan could not be seen at the Tamir Observatory in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. So, Thursday, March 23, will be the first day of Ramadan.
The Islamic calendar is usually either 29 or 30 days. The beginning and end of the month depend on the crescent moon, which is why Ramadan is not set on any specific days annually.
Ramadan is observed by more than 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide and is considered a month of fasting and spirituality. It is the month when the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
