The holy month of Ramadan is set to commence in India as the moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, marking the beginning of this significant period of fasting and spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide. Ramadan, a month dedicated to prayer, charity, and community, is observed by millions, who fast from dawn until sunset. The sighting of the moon acts as a crucial indicator for the start of Ramadan, and while Saudi Arabia has officially announced the first day of fasting tomorrow, Indian authorities and local mosques are expected to confirm the moon sighting shortly. This process of moon sighting holds great importance within the Islamic tradition, as it not only signifies the start of fasting but also reinforces communal bonds among Muslims. In India, the moon sighting is anticipated to occur on the evening of the same day, with many looking forward to the arrival of Ramadan and engaging in its practices.
