 "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint" Qur'an 2: 183
The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar'ia method for determining the beginning of lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal. On the basis of this method the dates of Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr for the year 1430 AH are established as follows:
1st day of Ramadan will be on Saturday, August 22, 2009
1st day of Shawwal will be on Sunday, September 20, 2009 Our sincere wishes to Muslims around the world for a blessed month of Ramadan, may God keep people of all faiths on the right path, and accept their fasting and prayers.
