“Reliable reports of moon sighting were received from Muslim leaders and organisations across the country, which were duly verified and authenticated by us, the states and national moon sighting committees.

“Consequently, tomorrow Monday the 6th day of May 2019 becomes the first day of Ramadan 1440AH insha Allah.
