Eid ul fitr 2023 in saudi arabia

This year's Eid ul Fitr is set to arrive this week, as the moon plays a big part in the Islamic festival. During the Islamic Calendar, the sighting of the new crescent moon marks the beginning of the month. Astronomy is very important for In total, it takes 29.5 days for the moon to pass through each of its phases.

We'll bring all the latest updates on who sees the moon where and when, if at all, and all the Eid announcements as they happen in our live blog below.

Saudi astronomer Muhammad Al-Thaqafi had said: "I expect to see the crescent of Shawwal today from the Tumair or Sudair observatories. Provided they have a clear horizon from obscuring clouds or other factors."

The meaning behind Eid al-Fitr explained and how Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan It is traditional for Muslims After Eid, some Muslims decide to fast for the six days that follow. This stems from the Islamic belief that a good deed in Islam is rewarded 10 times, thus fasting for 30 days during Ramadan and six days during Shawwal creates a year’s worth of goodwill. The second Eid festival in the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha, falls later in the year. Its name literally translates as “feast of the sacrifice,” and it is considered the holier of the two Eids.
