Welcome to Ramadan 2012/1433!
UPDATED: July 20th 2012 – 07:30 GMT (05:30pm Australian EST)
The moon has been sighted in New Zealand & Australia.
Whether you are following physical or calculation moon sighting or just following the “majority” , Ramadan Mubarak from MuslimVillage.com!
Keep checking back this page for the latest information on moon sighing in other countries – we are updating regularly
We will list Ramadan start dates for countries around the world InshAllah.
As has been the case in past years, different countries and organisations will establish the start (and end) of Ramadan using different methods. Although all will of course be using moon sighting as the deciding factor, some will use the calculation method, whilst others will use a physical sighting (some accepting local, others global physical sighting).
Please check with your local Mosque or Islamic organisation to find out when they will be starting Ramadan.
