Eid Ul Fitr Prayers in UAE
Muslims across the world including in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are poised to celebrate the Eid Ul Fitr 2023.
To mark the Islamic festival, Mosques across the UAE are preparing to welcome worshippers for the Eid Ul Fitr congregational prayers.
However, it’s yet to be confirmed that when Eid Ul Fitr will fall in the UAE, either on Friday or Saturday.
The Eid Moon will be sighted on Thursday evening around the world including in the United Arab Emirates.
If the moon is sighted on Thursday evening, it will bring an end to the Holy Month of Ramadan and Shawwal will begin with the Eid Ul Fitr Celebrations on Friday.
But Eid will fall on Saturday if the situation is vice versa with regard to the moon sighting.
Meanwhile, in a joint delectation, a group of 25 astronomy experts from 13 Arab Countries have said that the crescent moon in the month of Shawwal cannot be seen on Thursday with the naked eye in the Arab and Islamic regions.
