Unique Ramadan Traditions From Across the World

Waiting All Month for the Eid Moon

Muslims don't use a regular calendar for Ramadan. Instead, they use the lunar calendar, which means that the dates of Ramadan are set by the crescent moon. Ramadan starts when the crescent moon first appears and ends when it comes back. However, this can cause problems.

There will always be people who disagree with the dates of Ramadan and the lunar sightings, but they do help everyone understand the lunar cycle better.
