22 March 2023

According to the astronomical calculations, the crescent for the month of Ramadan did appear after sunset this evening for 38 minutes. As such, I am pleased to declare that the first day of fasting for the month of Ramadan falls tomorrow, Thursday, 23 March 2023.

I wish everyone a blessed Ramadan, a month of great blessings, forgiveness, empathy, patience, and gratitude. May God grant us peace and faith as we welcome this month, with protection and guidance, and for our deeds to be accepted.
