News Topical, Digital Desk : For Muslims, Ramadan is the holiest and most blessed month of the 12 calendar months, a time of patience, fasting, reflection, and celebration. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, during which Muslims, in particular, observe fasting.
Fasting is obligatory for every Muslim in Islam. However, fasting isn't simply about staying hungry; it's also a month of self-control, giving up bad habits, testing patience, and worshipping Allah. Muslims eagerly await the month of Ramadan. But before that, everyone's eyes are fixed on the moon, a ritual known as the moon-night. As soon as the moon is sighted, the month of Ramadan begins, and fasting begins the next morning. Find out when the moon will be visible this year and when the first fast will be observed.
When is the moon night in Ramadan 2026?
The process of fasting begins only after the sighting of the moon of Ramadan. According to the Muslim Aid website, the moon is expected to be sighted on February 19th in the month of February 2026. The moon is first sighted in Mecca or related countries, and only after this the date of Ramadan is decided. If the moon is not sighted in India, then Ramzan also begins in India the day after the date of moon sighting in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, or related countries. As soon as the moon is sighted, everyone greets each other by saying Chand Raat Mubarak or Ramadan Mubarak. The month of Ramadan lasts for 29-30 days and then Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated.
When will the first fast of Ramadan be observed?
The date of fasting for Ramadan is announced as soon as the moon is sighted. Muslims begin fasting the following morning. It is likely that the first fast of Ramadan this year will be observed on February 20th. However, this is a tentative date. The exact date will be announced only after the moon is sighted.
