Ramadan 1444 AH:
The Astronomical New Moon is on March 22. Therefore, first day of Ramadan is Thursday 23, Insha’Allah. The first Tarawih prayer will be on Wednesday night, March 22.
This is of course a calculated date and is subject to change based on the actual sighting of the moon. Alhamdulillah, we learn from the Quran that calculating time is something that Allah has given to us through His creation.
Surah Yunus, Ayat 5: It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases – that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know.”
