Eid-ul-Fitr Moon Sighting: Muslims around the world including India are fasting in the month of Ramadan with full devotion. As the last period of Ramadan approaches, i.e. as the third Ashra begins, everyone starts preparing for Eid and as Ramadan passes, everyone eagerly waits for the moon of Eid.
Eid is the most important festival of the people of Muslim community. It is also known as Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-al-Fitr, Mithi Eid or Ramadan Eid. The festival of Eid marks the end of the month of Ramadan. Eid is celebrated as soon as the month of Ramadan ends. But the date of Eid is decided only after the sighting of the half moon. Let us know when the Eid moon will be seen in India this year and when Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated in the country.
When will the Eid moon be seen in India (Eid-ul-Fitr Moon Sighting 2024 in India)
Actually, the moon of Shawwal (10th month of Islamic calendar) is seen on different dates in different countries. In such a situation, the date of Eid may also differ in different countries. Talking about India, the 29th fast of Ramzan will be observed in India on 9th April. If the crescent moon is seen in the sky on this day, then Eid will be celebrated on the next day i.e. on 10th April and if the moon is not visible on the 29th fast, then after completing 30 fasts of Ramadan, Eid will be celebrated in India on 11th April.
Why is the moon seen before Eid?
The Islamic calendar is based on the Moon and all the festivals also depend on the Moon. According to Islamic Ruyat-e-Hilal (seeing the new moon), seeing the crescent moon is a religious process. A new month begins when the new moon is seen. After seeing this new moon on the last day of Ramadan, the month of Shawwal begins and then Eid is celebrated.
