The Holy Month of Ramadan will start on Wednesday, August 11, and Eid-Al-Fitr will fall on Friday, September 10, according to a UAE astronomer.
Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Astronomy Researcher and Supervisor of Sharjah Planetarium, said the crescent moon of the Holy Month of Ramadan will be astronomically born on Tuesday, August 10, at 7.08am UAE time and will disappear after sunset on the same day, and Wednesday will the first day of Ramadan.
"The crescent moon of Shawwal will be born on Wednesday September 8, at 2.30 am local time, and sink down 14 minutes before sunset. It's impossible to sight the crescent by naked eye at that day and therefore Friday (September 10) will be the first day of Shawwal," he said.
