First, we were to observe the moon and try to sight the Crescent here in Queensland. We could not see it.
Secondly, we checked with our Muslims in the other Australian states. No one could spot the Crescent.
Thirdly we received news that Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei were unable to sight the crescent.
Lastly, we received the news that people in Sudair, Saudi Arabia have successfully sighted the crescent and therefore today, Monday the 11th of March 2024, is the first day of Ramadan.
Now that we are living Ramadan once more, we would like to take this opportunity to say Ramadan Kareem, May Allah aid you and us in fasting, praying and all supplications and accept all your worship and good deed.
