Ramzan 2023 in UAE: Only 30 days away for month of fasting

[ad_1]
The first day of Sha’ban 1444 AH (Anno Hegirae in Latin or “in the year of the Hijra”) – 2023 begins on Tuesday, February 21, and serves as a reminder that Ramzan is just around the corner – only 30 days away.
According to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society, the crescent moon — which indicates the beginning of the Hijri month— of Sha’ban observed on Monday, February 20. Therefore, Tuesday, February 21, will be Sha’ban 1.
Therefore, Monday was the last and 29th day of Rajab 1444 Hijri.
Muslims around the world begin to prepare for the fast of Ramzan from dawn to dusk in the month of Sha’ban. Many people fast on some days of the month to prepare their bodies for Ramzan.
1 Month Left For Ramadhan !
The crescent for the Month of Shabaan was sighted.
Therefore, Tuesday 21st February 2023 will be the 1st of Shabaan.

Earlier this year, Ibrahim Al-Jarwan, a member of the International Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, noted that the first day of Ramadan is likely to be Thursday, March 23, 2023.
On the other hand, Eid ul Fitr, marks the end of the month-long fast. Eid ul Fitr is expected to begin on Friday, April 21, 2023.
The start of Ramzan and Eid-Al-Fitr will be confirmed closer to the date, based on the moon-sighting tradition.
What is Ramzan?
In Islam, Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar— a lunar calendar consisting of twelve months beginning with Muharram, and ending with Zul-Hijjah. Each month starts with the sighting of the moon. Eid Al-Fitr, on the other hand, marks the end of the month-long fast.

The calendar has been observed for more than 1,440 years and is used to date important Islamic events including the start of Ramzan, Eid-Al-Fitr, and the beginning of the Haj.
Ramzan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar and is believed to be the month during which the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, and abstain from food and drink during this period.

Ahead of Ramzan, tea crisis looms in Pakistan as prices surge

[ad_1]
Karachi: Ahead of Ramazan, the price of black tea (loose) in Pakistan has swelled to Rs 1,600 per kg from Rs 1,100 in the last 15 days as around 250 containers are still stuck at the port that arrived from late December 2022 to early January, local media reported.
A retailer said a leading brand has raised the price of 170-gram Danedar and Elaichi packs to Rs320 and Rs350 from Rs 290. The 900 and 420-gram packs now cost Rs 1,480 and Rs 720 as against Rs 1,350 and Rs 550. Other packers are set to follow suit, Dawn reported.
Zeeshan Maqsood, Convener Standing Committee of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) on Tea, said that imports are currently under crisis which may lead to huge shortages in March, Dawn reported.
He said banks say they have instructions from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to release documents on 180-day defer contracts or 180-day letters of credit (LCs).
He added that the situation is getting worse because if anyone gets these containers released on 180-day deferred payment then how he would calculate the cost of imported tea as nobody knows what would be the dollar rate after six months on the interbank market, Dawn reported.
Zeeshan, who is also an executive member of the Pakistan Tea Association (PTA), said the banks are not opening LCs saying they do not have any instructions from the SBP for new contracts.
He feared that tea price may hit Rs 2,500 per kg in Ramazan in case stuck-up consignments were not released, Dawn reported.
As a result, the welfare associations may not be able to distribute tea in ration bags due to shortage and high cost, he added.

Zeeshan suggested that Pakistan should sign a Prefrential Trade Agreement (PTA) with Kenya. “We import 90 per cent of Kenyan tea from a weekly auction in Mombasa where all African Origin tea are sold.”
Kenya is the gateway to Africa connecting seven landlocked countries. Pakistan imports tea worth around $500m annually from Kenya and exports only $250m of different items, Dawn reported.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Ahead of the holy month of Ramzan, minorities welfare department officials are planning to give a facelift to Makkah Masjid located near Charminar, Hyderabad.
The target is to complete the restoration works before the commencement of Ramzan which is likely to begin in Hyderabad on March 23.
On Thursday, minorities welfare department director B Shafiullah and Wakf Board officials visited the mosque. After inspecting the works that are going on at the mosque, he asked officials to complete them before Ramzan begins in Hyderabad, TOI reported.
Ramzan to bring hustle-bustle to markets in Hyderabad
With around 50 days left for Ramzan to begin, markets in various parts of Hyderabad are getting ready to welcome a huge rise in business activities during the month.
With no Covid-related restrictions, hectic activity can be expected in markets and neighbourhoods as people will purchase the essentials for fasting.
After the outbreak of the pandemic, the upcoming Ramzan will be the second one that will be free from Covid-related restrictions.
The holy month in 2020 was completely overshadowed by the pandemic whereas, the celebrations in 2021 were low-key due to various Covid-related restrictions.
Fasting during Ramzan
Muslims across the world observe fast from dawn to sunset during the holy month. Fasting, the third of the five tenets of Islam, is obligatory for all adults except those who are ill.

During Ramzan, Hyderabad comes alive. The worshippers throng the mosques for prayers till around midnight. For ‘sahr’ and morning prayers, people wake up in the wee hours of the day.
The sighting of the crescent on either the 29th or 30th of Ramzan marks the end of the holy month. Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the Islamic calendar’s Shawwal month.

UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi will not fast during Ramzan; here’s why

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, said that he is “not obligated to fast during Ramzan” while on his upcoming six-month International Space Station (ISS) mission.
Al Neyadi will become the first Arab astronaut to spend six months in space after his scheduled launch on February 26 to the ISS via the “Falcon 9” rocket manufactured by the “SpaceX” company.
Sultan Al Neyadi said in response to a question during a press conference, on Wednesday, at the Johnson Space Center in the American city of Houston, “In my case, I can be classified as a traveller, and the traveller has the right to interrupt his fast.”
“Fasting is not obligatory if a person feels, for example, that his health is not well,” he added.
He continued, “From here we are allowed to eat a sufficient amount of food, in order to avoid anything that might undermine the mission or threaten the crew members,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Al Neyadi will become the first Arab to spend six months in space after his scheduled launch on February 26 to the International Space Station via the “Falcon 9p” rocket manufactured by the “SpaceX” company.
Based on current calculations, Ramzan this year is expected to start around March 23, which means that Eid Al-Fitr – the festival that marks the end of Ramzan – is expected to be from April 20 to April 23.
As per media reports, Al Neyadi is not the first Muslim to spend Ramzan in space.
Prince Sultan bin Salman, the prince of Saudi Arabia, was the first Muslim to reach space when the US space shuttle Discovery flew in 1985. He was fasting on the day he was launched into space, which is the last day of Ramzan.

Malaysian astronaut Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor also spent a few days of Ramzan in space in 2007.
