With the holy month of Ramzan in 2022 close to conclusion, millions of eyes have been pointed upwards towards the sky for sighting the crescent moon. The moon marking the arrival of the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr is called the Shawwal crescent moon.
The festival comes after the holy month in which followers of the Islamic faith practice Roza (fasting) all over the world. This ritual is performed with the observance of sehri and iftar. Sehri marks the beginning of a Roza while iftar marks the end.
The exact date and timings of Eid-ul-Fitr varies in different countries based on the moon sighting. The crescent moon was sighted in India on Monday, 2 May 2022. Eid-al-Fitr 2022 is now set to be celebrated tomorrow on Tuesday, May 3.
