Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is about to begin, along with that fasting will also begin. This time there is confusion among the people about the date of commencement of Ramzan because Ramzan starts only after the sighting of the moon and fasting is observed on the next day. This time from which date is Ramadan in India and when is the first Roza? Let us know about this from Qazi Mufti Sabir Ansari Kasmi of Jhansi.
Since when is Ramadan and the first fast in India?
According to Qazi Qasmi, the date of Ramadan month is on Friday, Qamari 1, the year 1444 Hijri. If the moon is sighted today on March 22, then the month of Ramadan will start today and the first fast will be observed tomorrow, Thursday, March 23. If the moon is not visible today, then tomorrow the moon will be on March 23. In such a situation, the first fast of Ramadan will be observed on Friday, March 24, and the first Friday will be on that day. Ramadan month will start from 24 March.
The calculation is done on the basis of the moon
The way fasts and festivals are fixed on the basis of the date of sunrise in the Hindu calendar, in the same way, the festivals are fixed on the basis of the moon in the Islamic calendar. Before celebrating any festival, it is seen when the moon is coming out. If the moon is not sighted, then the festival is celebrated on the date of Qamari of that month.
For example, the date of the month of Ramadan is Friday A Qamari 1, the year 1444 Hijri. If the moon is not sighted today, then Ramadan will start on Friday, 24 March.
