The Holy Ramadan, the lunar month of self-purification through fasting and abstinence, begins in the country today (Tuesday) as the new moon was sighted in Bangladesh sky on Monday, reports UNB.
Lailatul Qadr, the night of divine blessing and benediction, will be observed on the night of June 01.
The National Moon Sighting Committee took the decision at a meeting held at the Islamic Foundation's Baitul Mukarram office with State Minister for Religious Affairs Sheikh Md Abdullah in the chair.
During the holy month, all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous institutions will follow new office timing as announced by the government.
All these offices will remain open from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm with a 15-minute Zohr prayers break from 1:15 pm to 1:30 pm during the month.
