As the crescent moon heralds the end of Ramadan, the Gulf region comes alive with the spirit of Eid al-Fitr, a festival that marks a time of joy, reflection, and community. This year, Eid al-Fitr’s commencement announcement on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, has been met with much anticipation and preparation across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
The festival is a celebration of the completion of a month of fasting and spiritual growth and a testament to the unity and shared values that bind the Muslim community together.
In Saudi Arabia, the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, is a momentous occasion. The Kingdom has announced that Tuesday, April 9, will be the last day of Ramadan, with the first day of Shawwal marking the start of Eid al-Fitr.
Similarly, Qatar has confirmed the dates for Eid al-Fitr, aligning with the regional consensus for celebrating this auspicious day on April 10.
Bahrain and Kuwait have also joined in announcing the same dates for Eid al-Fitr, further solidifying the sense of camaraderie and shared joy that the festival brings. The public declarations and preparations for Eid al-Fitr serve as a reminder of the cultural and religious significance of this time, as well as the collective identity that it fosters among the people of the Gulf.
The Australian Fatwa Council’s confirmation of the new moon’s birth on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, plays a crucial role in determining Eid al-Fitr’s date, reflecting a method that aligns with the approaches adopted by prominent global scholars’ councils.
