BirSaNN Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Rajab precedes the month of Sha'ban and the holy month of Ramadan. Rabat - Monday will mark the beginning of the month of Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic calendar. In a press release, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and religious Endowment announced the sighting of the crescent moon at sunset on January 22. The sighting of the crescent moon confirmed that Monday is the beginning of Rajab in Morocco, which precedes the month of Sha’ban and the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, one of the holiest events in Islam, Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on the crescent month. Throughout Ramadan, Muslims cannot smoke, take non-prescribed medicine, or chew gum during fasting hours. People with illnesses requiring medication and the elderly are exempted from fasting. Muslim scholars determine the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan by sighting the crescent. In 2022, Morocco celebrated the first day of Ramadan on April 3. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/01/353673/islamic-calendar-monday-is-first-day-of-rajab-in-morocco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
