Tuesday April 13, 2021 AD Sha'aban 30, 1442 AH

Due to the fact that this year (1442 lunar year), the month of Sha’ban began on Monday, March 15, 2021, the month of Ramadan will begin on Tuesday, April 13, 2021, or on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. Therefore, if the sighting of the crescent is confirmed anywhere in the world on Monday, April 12, 2021, the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan will be Tuesday, otherwise it will be Wednesday. If the sighting of the crescent is confirmed on Monday, it will be announced here Insha’allah. Therefore if not announced, the sighting is not confirmed.
