Millions of Muslims around the world are preparing this evening for the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, expected tomorrow or Tuesday depending on the country they are in.
Ramadan, in fact, typically begins when the crescent Moon is spotted, expected for tomorrow (according to the Islamic website Hamari) in countries including Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and on Tuesday in other countries, including India, Indonesia and Egypt (according to 'Hindustan Times).
Ramadan lasts 29 to 30 days and is celebrated as the holiest month in Islam.
In a post published on X, Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court officially called on residents to "investigate the crescent of the holy month of Ramadan" this evening.
