Did you see the sighting of the Moon in Cape Town?

The sighting of the Moon is an important event for Muslims. It is a time for prayer, celebration and gratitude.

As the sighting of the moon marks the end of Ramadan, Muslims are celebrating with prayers and festivities. The event also marks the start of Eid al-Fitr, which lasts for three days and celebrates the successful completion of fasting and spiritual development.

The Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycles, so it moves according to where in the world it is observed. This year, Ramadan started on May 16th in Cape Town and will end Thursday night with Eid al-Fitr celebrations following Friday prayers at mosques across South Africa.
