The Muslim community in Germany is expected to observe the first day of Ramadan on Wednesday, March 22, according to astronomical calculations.
German news outlet Almanya Arabic indicated that the holy month is expected to last a total of 30 days, from March 22 to Friday, April 21.
The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, meaning that the moon sighting denotes the start and the end of the Islamic months. Therefore, Islamic months last between 29 and 30 days depending on the moon sighting.
Meanwhile, Qadr Night, or Laylat al-Qadr, is set to take place on Monday, April 17 in Germany, while Eid Al Fitr is expected to be celebrated on April 22.
While the holy month of Ramadan holds great significance for Muslims, Laylat Al-Qadr is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. Muslims commemorate the special night by performing various acts of worship and devotion, including giving charity.
