Eidul Fitr: Supreme Islamic Council issues statement

The Supreme Islamic Council issued a statement today reminding Muslims in The Gambia that the sighting of the Crescent Moon of Shawwaal will be Tuesday evening, Tuesday 29.

The council said Tuesday marked the 29th day of Ramadan. Eidul Fitr could therefore be marked on Wednesday.

“Therefore, the Council urges all Muslims to carefully sight the Crescent Moon and inform the Council or its Regional Representatives/Committee Heads of any information about the Crescent Moon.

“We ask Allaah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’aalaa) to accept all our Ibaadaat during the Blessed month. May HE continue to guide and protect us all from all evils and evil-doers,” the council said.
