Ramzan starts from tomorrow

The Central Ruiyat-e-Hilal Committee confirmed that the crescent was not sighted on Friday. This means the holy month of Ramzan commences from Sunday.

Led by Maulana Qubool Pasha Shuttari, members of the committee scoured the sky, unsuccessfully, to sight the moon from atop the Hussaini Building at Moazzam Jahi Market.

The first taraveeh will be offered after dusk prayers on Saturday, while the



time for the first sehri will end at 4.11 am in Hyderabad on Sunday.

The day-long fast will end at 6.51 pm, a total of 14 hours and 40 minutes. By the middle of the month, the rozas will stretch to 14 hours 49 minutes. 

The long duration of the fast, and the intense summer heat, will test the resolve, spirit and stamina of the rozadaars (persons who fast), young and old alike.
