Ramadan Kareem

Ramadan Kareem everyone!! May the Holy month of Ramadan brings us the barakah.. Lots of them..

The fasting month in Qatar starts today, 1 September 2008. Malaysia also declared the 1st day of Ramadan for the same date. What is interesting in this part of the world is the way the start of Ramadan is decided. Yes, Saudi & Qatar also followed the sunnah to sight the moon and calculation to determine the 1st day of Ramadan. However, Qatar Government also appealed to the people of Qatar to report to the committee if they see the new crescent on the early night of 30 August 2008 ie 29 Shaaban. This Moon Sight Appeal was publicised in The Gulf Times. So much trust given by the government to the residents of Qatar.. Interesting!

During Ramadan, the working hours will also be reduced especially in the government sectors. Labour Law clearly states that maximum hours during Ramadan shall be maximum 6 hours.

Hopefully more time can be spent on sunnahs during Ramadan month.

Ramadan Kareem to every Muslims in all parts of the world... God Bless.
