Tomorrow is Eidul-Fitr

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Ministry of Islamic Affairs has declared tomorrow as this year’s Eid-ul-Fitr.

The announcement was made in a statement issued last night following the conclusion of the Ministry’s meeting held at the Islamic Center, to decide on the sighting of the moon for the month of Shawwal.

The statement issued by the Ministry said that the decision was based on the fact that the moon for the month of Shawwal was not sighted last night anywhere in the Maldives or any other Islamic country.

The statement on the sighting of the moon for the month of Shawwl was announced by the Minister of State for Islamic Affairs Shaheem Ali Saeed.

Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the biggest religious festival of the Muslims, will be celebrated across the country on Friday.

Meanwhile, the ministry has allocated the Islamic Center and the surrounding areas including the Republican Square to perform Eid prayer.
