The UAE’s Moon Sighting Committee and the Supreme Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia will meet today (Tuesday) in their respective countries to witness the Ramadan crescent.
Muslims in the Middle East, Europe and the US will be anxiously waiting for the announcement of advent of the holy month as majority of the Muslims in the Western countries follow Saudi Arabia’s Islamic Hijri calendar.
