Sorry about the mistake.

CORRECTION:

The eighth month of the Hijri year (the current month) is SHA'BAN NOT RAJAB.

I am very sorry about the mistake and don't know how I didn't pay enough attention.

The rest remains as is...

Sefri,

We are in the month of Shaban not Rajab. When you reply, please ensure. Don't confuse others.

Insha Allah, hoping first day of Ramadan will be either Friday or Saturday.

If Islamic month SHABAAN lasts 29 days only, then Friday 21st August 'll be the 1st day of Ramadan.

If this month lasts 30 days, then Saturday 22nd August will be the 1st day of Ramadan....

Ramadan Kareem....

* Ramadan is the 9th month of the Hijri Calinder.

* According to this calender, we are currently on the 27th of Rajab (8th month). The current Hijri date is 27/08/1430.

* A lunar month lasts 29 or 30 days, not less not more.

According to the above, if this lunar month lasts 29 days only, then Friday is the 1st day of Ramadan.

If this month lasts 30 days, then Saturday will be the 1st day of Ramadan.

Taraweeh prayers (special night prayers in Ramadan) would begin the night before the first day, whenever decided...

To predict when the Eid Festival begins, you use the same information mentioned above and count 29 to 30 days from the beginning of Ramadan. Eid holidays are 3 days, although the religious festival is the first day only.

Hope that was useful...
