As the 29th day of the holy month of Ramadan dawns in Saudi Arabia, the nation turns its eyes skyward. The sighting of the Shawwal moon, a significant event marking the end of Ramadan, is eagerly anticipated. However, astronomers predict that the moon will remain elusive today.
The absence of the Shawwal moon today indicates a high probability that the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of Ramadan, will commence on Wednesday. This prediction is based on the lunar patterns and the current phase of the moon.
In keeping with tradition, a meeting is scheduled for today in Saudi Arabia to officially attempt the sighting of the Shawwal moon. This meeting is a significant event, steeped in cultural and religious importance, and is held on the 29th of every Ramadan.
As the nation awaits the outcome of this meeting, the anticipation for the arrival of Eid al-Fitr, a time of joy and celebration, builds across Saudi Arabia. The sighting of the Shawwal moon will officially signal the end of Ramadan and the beginning of a time of festivity and joy.
