RAMADAN

 


[2:185] "Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation."

First Fasting Day of Ramadan 2008: Aug. 31 
Last Fasting Day of Ramadan 2008: September 29

 

The first day of Ramadan will begin by the Sunset of August 30 in the year of 2008 for North and South America. This means that our first fasting day will be Aug.31, God willing. Our last fasting day of Ramadan will be September 29, 2008. Night of Destiny, 27th night of Ramadan, starts at the sunset of September 25, 2008.

To verify your city's first day of Ramadan, check on the time of the sunset and the time of the birth of the New Moon  at the USA Naval Observatory.  If the new moon is born before the Sunset you will fast next morning as the first day of fasting. If it is born after the Sunset, then, the first day of Ramadan will start by the following Sunset, and you fast the day after that.
