whole month as a blessed month. They fast during the days of this month and make
special prayers at night. People also give more charity and do extra righteous
deeds. Also, in this Holy Month, The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received the first
revelation of Al-Qur'an (in one of the last ten odd nights of Ramzan). Ramazan/Ramadhan is the month of celebration as well as the
month of discipline and self-control.

How do you know the Ramadhan start and end dates? To my knowledge you have to sight the new moon to have this info regardless of the ilm-al-falak!
Guided Ways: For this reason why say "(tentative)" against the date. When the date was confirmed, we removed the word "tentative" to indicate it's now confirmed. |
