The new crescent moon was not sighted with the naked eye at sunset tonight, Sunday, March 10, 2024, anywhere in the United States; therefore, Tuesday, March 12, 2024, will be the first day of Ramadan. It is recommended to fast tomorrow as the last day of Shaban. Ramadan Mubarak!
Oh you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may become mindful of God. Quran 2:183
