Moon seen, Eid today

However, the Eid holiday will still be tomorrow. Maulana Siddiq Nasir of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah Institute in San Fernando told Sunday Newsday yesterday that while the moon was not visible in Trinidad, it was seen in Guyana. He explained that Muslim groups in TT accept regional sightings for example from Guyana, Suriname, Barbados and Grenada for the observance of Eid.

Eid ul-Fitr is one of the most important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide as it marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
