Do You Get a Black Moon?
What is a Black Moon, and why does it happen in December?
Ramadan (also known as Ramadhan or Ramzan) is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a time when Muslims around the world focus on prayer, fasting, giving to charity, and religious devotion. The last third of Ramadan is a particularly holy period, as it commemorates when the Koran's (Qu'ran) first verses were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (Mohammad or Muhammed).
Is Ramadan Start a Public Holiday?
Even though Ramadan Start falls on Saturday, March 1, 2025, it is a working day. Most businesses follow regular opening hours in Ghana.
The month of Ramadan begins when the Waxing Crescent Moon can be observed in the evening sky.
