Happy Ramadan Mubarak: Holy Month Begins with Moon Sighting, Messages Shared Worldwide

The spirit of happy ramadan mubarak is spreading as Muslims prepare for the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin around February 18–19 in India following the crescent moon sighting on February 17. Traditionally, the country starts fasting a day after Saudi Arabia where the moon is often observed first. Oman has also set the first fasting day on February 19 using scientific moon data.

The month focuses on fasting from dawn (suhoor) to sunset (iftar), spiritual reflection, prayer, charity and discipline — core practices connected to Islamic teachings in the Quran.

Significance of Ramadan and Fasting

Ramadan is one of Islam’s five pillars. During this time believers abstain from food, drink and water between dawn and sunset. Mosques host extra prayers, families gather for iftar, and charity such as zakat increases.

Exemptions apply for the ill, pregnant, elderly and travellers, who may complete the missed fasts later. The holy month concludes with Eid ul-Fitr on March 19–20, a celebration marking the end of fasting.
