Saudi Arabia, which is home to some of Islam’s holiest sites, has announced that Ramadan fasting will begin on Saturday, April 2 in 2022.
Many countries throughout the world, including Nigeria, have traditionally waited for Saudi Arabia to declare the sighting of the moon or the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
However, things have lately altered, and most countries now begin on conviction after seeing the moon from numerous points.
“Tomorrow, Saturday will be the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan,” the Saudi kingdom said on Friday in a statement carried out by the official SPA news agency.
Four other Gulf Arab countries, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, have all announced the start of Ramadan on Saturday, although Oman has said it will begin a day later.
InsightnaijaTV reports that the beginning date of Ramadan, the dawn-to-dusk fasting month, is decided by both lunar calculations and physical observations of a new moon.
Muslim devotees will fast from sunrise to dusk during this time, and then break their fast with family and friends in the evening.
Muslims flock to mosques in great numbers for prayers during this time, especially at night.
Ramadan traditionally celebrates the beginning of Prophet Mohammed’s revelations from the Muslim holy book, the Koran.
Ramadan is one of Islam’s five “pillars.”
The others are the statement of faith (“there is no God but God, and Mohammed is his messenger”), the requirement to pray five times a day, charity, and at least once in a believer’s lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca.
