Minister of Justice and Head of the Ramadan Crescent Moon Sighting Committee Hadef Jua'n Al-Dhaheri, in a statement said, Friday Aug 21st, 2009 will be the 30th day of the Hijri (lunar) month of Sha'ban, month preceding Ramadan, and therefore Ramadan will begin on Saturday August 22nd, 2009.
Following contacts with neighboring countries, following the traditional methods of observation and the credible technical capabilities used over the past years, the new moon signifying the arrival of Ramadan was not visible and therefore the start of Ramadan was determined to be on next Saturday, Al-Dhaheri explained.
"Ramadan kareem, to all readers."
