Ramadan is just around the corner.
According to one astronomer, Ramadan 2022 will begin on April 2.
We can’t be sure yet, of course, as all dates are subject to the sighting of the moon, which won’t be determined until the night before. The official announcement will likely come April 1.
Astrological estimation is helpful as it helps many plan ahead.
The Holy Month of Ramadan will likely continue 30 days, ending May 1, with May 2 becoming the first day of Eid Al Fitr for 2022.
Fasting hours were also revealed by a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, Ibrahim Al Jarwan, who told Emarat Al Youm that fasting hours will be 13 hours and 40 minutes on April 2 and 14 hours and 20 minutes by May 1.
Because Eid would begin on May 2, that likely means there will be a five day weekend in the UAE.
In 2030, there will likely be two Ramadans.
If you want to look even further into the future, in 2033 (yes, 2033, we’re thinking ahead), Eid al Fitr is predicted to begin on 23 December, with Christmas on 25 December.
According to Alhabib.info, which tracks the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar and compares it to the Gregorian calendar, based on global crescent moon sighting probability, in the year 1454 to 1455 AH, which corresponds to 2033 CE, there will be three Eids that year.
