The holy month of Ramadan has finally begun with the announcements of Shahi Imam of Delhi’s historic Jama Masjid confirming the sighting of the holy moon.
The news of Ramadan 2012 has bought a smile on the faces of all those thousands of Muslims, who sangMaghrib prayers awaiting for the announcement but finally went to sleep when they didn’t hear them.
Reports over the sighting of the holy moon cleared that the overcast sky blurred the sighting in maximum parts of the north India, Haryana to Bihar and Bengal reported that cloudy sky didn’t gave the people a clear view of the moon.
The moon was not seen even in those areas, which have not received rains since last several days. Since many areas including Delhi, Surat and Shahjahanpur could not get a chance of the moon sighting, Muslims in many areas will not be fasting tomorrow.
Usually it has followed a trend of starting fasting India one day after it begins in Saudi Arabia. But this year, there seems to be a change in this usual pattern. To ensure the beginning of the month from tomorrow, almost all the mosques had Maghrib prayers. Though for a brief time, moon gave its sight to some after the evening prayers.
