Tomorrow is also the First Day of Ramadan in Australia with majority of Muslims following Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries for Moon sighting.

Ramadan mubarak to the entire Muslim Ummah. May this holy month brings peace all over.

Ramadan mubarak to the entire Muslim Ummah; hope the blessings of this Holy Month overcomes the problems of Muslim world and keep them on right path

@Omran a sizeable population of Australia follows moon sighting anywhere in Australia. The moon has not been sighted today (Wed) in the Eastern states. Information from WA is awaited

Ramadan Kareem fellow Muslims. May everyone of us are blessed with the mercy of Almighty especially Muslims of Myanmar.

Ramadhan will hopefully start in Kenya tomorrow. Like Pakistan, here the Mulvis are often divided. Wishing that Pakistan should start Ramadan on one day.

Why did they try to see crescent on 28th in Arabia? The reason is that the Officials in Riyadh go by their Shariah non-compliant calendar as such 28th day by actual sighting of moon is 29th day on their calendar. The privilege and power to announce the advent of Hijree months has been taken away from the Ulamah long long ago by the almighty Calendar Lobby in Riyadh. Why? The Ulamah follow Shariah and the Officials, one can speculate, want their calendar to replace to the Solar calendar in use throughout the world. So their calendar is Shariah non-compliant. The irony is that millions of Muslims think that the news of advent of Hijree months comes from Musjidulheraam. So they follow what they hear from Riyadh not knowing the Truth. Everyone living in Arabia or in countries just west of Arabia will do themselves a favour by going out to search for Helaal every month to know the Truth. One will need to compare what one sees in the sky with what one hears from Riyadh. This is the test.

Lucky expats will fast in nice cool temperatures and short days. In pakistan 17 hour long fasts in 45C heat with no AC and 12 hour a day power cuts. Fun times!

Ramadan moon has been sighted in Alice Springs Australian and people following moonlighting will also observe fasting from tomorrow. Hence for All Australians tomorrow Thursday is 1st Ramadan Alhamdulillah

@Ahmed It will be 15 hrs fast in Pakistan and GCC as well.

@AQJ We non muslims too hope this Ramzan month would bring peace and less killing to the world around us. But we also feel sorry for the sectarian killings happenings in muslim dominated countries such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan too. Looks they fast from sun rise to sunset and start fighting with each other from sunset to sunrise. Hope this madness stops.

People are willing to fast for 20 hours but they are not willing to read a book in their entire life. Seeking knowledge is also furz just like fasting but 99% take the easy way out!

We also have Ramzan from tomorrow. Ramzan Mubarak to all Dawn lovers.

@Azeem Haqqani - Are you an Arab? It's called Ramzan in the Subcontinent.. Anyways have a great "Ramzan"..
