📢 Official Announcement from the Ghana Hilāl (Crescent) Committee
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Today, Wednesday, 18th March 2026, corresponds to the 28th day of Ramadan 1447 AH. Accordingly, tomorrow, Thursday, 19th March 2026 (29th Ramadan), will be the day designated for the sighting of the blessed crescent of Shawwāl.
If the crescent moon is sighted, then Friday, 20th March 2026 will mark Eid ul-Fiṭr and the 1st of Shawwāl 1447 AH, and Muslims will observe the Eid.
However, if the crescent is not sighted, then Ramadan will be completed as thirty (30) days, and Eid Ul-Fiṭr will be observed on Saturday, 21st March 2026, which will then be the 1st of Shawwāl 1447 AH.
We ask Allah to accept our fasting, prayers, and acts of devotion, and to grant us the blessing of witnessing Eid in good faith and sound health. Ameen Bijahi Rasulullahi 🙏🏽
