RAMADHAN 2023 (1444 H)
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Camira Mosque committee follows local (i.e. Australia) moonsighting to determine the start of Islamic month.
The moonsighting for the start of Ramadhan 2023/1444 H will be done at Maghrib time on 29th of Sha'ban 1444H, which falls on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. We will post the result as soon as the moon is sighted anywhere in Australia or after Perth moonset time, which is around 9:00 PM Brisbane time.
If crescent moon is sighted anywhere in Australia, then 1st of Ramadhan will fall on Thursday, 23 March 2023, and we will start performing Tarawih on Wednesday night.
If crescent moon is NOT sighted anywhere in Australia, then 1st of Ramadhan will fall on Friday, 24 March 2023, and we will start performing Tarawih on Thursday night.
Edit:
1. On the first 20 days of Ramadhan, Isha athan will be at 7:15 PM (iqama is +10 minutes), followed by Tarawih. On the last 10 days of Ramadhan, Isha athan will be at 8:00 PM.
2. We will only pray Tarawih 10 rakaat and 1 witr and will not do khatam.
