This Sunday, Muslims across the world will be gearing up to sight the crescent moon of Ramadan (Ramazan/Ramzaan/Ramzan), a practice that is a traditional and essential aspect of the Islamic faith as it determines the commencement of the month of fasting from dawn until sunset along with acts of charity and worship and that is when the Ramadan timetable comes handy as it plays a vital role in facilitating the observance of fasting and prayer by providing a structure, discipline and guidance to Muslims as they embark on their spiritual journey. Ramadan is a time for Muslims to come together as a community, strengthening bonds of universal brotherhood and a Ramadan timetable facilitates this communal spirit by ensuring that everyone is following the same schedule for fasting and prayer in each city, enabling family members, friends and communities to gather for Sehri (or Suhoor i.e. pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (breaking of the fast) meals with a sense of unity and solidarity.
This year, countries in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, UAE etc and the US, UK, will be sighting the Ramadan crescent moon on Sunday. If the Ramadan crescent moon is sighted on Sunday evening i.e. March 10, 2024, the taraweeh prayers will begin that night and Muslims in those countries will begin fasting from Monday, March 11. If the Ramadan crescent is not on Sunday after Maghrib or evening prayers, the holy month will start from Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

If the Ramadan crescent moon is sighted on Monday evening i.e. March 11, 2024, the taraweeh prayers will begin that night in those countries and Muslims there will begin fasting from Monday, March 12.
