chand raat confusion

Just a little confused...i thought chand raat was the sign of end of Ramadhan ie of Eid not the beginning of Ramadhan??

Can someone help and explain please😕

It is the sign for both the beginning and the end of the Ramadhan i.e the Eid.

thank you for the explanation😊

Ramadan is the 9th month of islamic calendar...and islamic calendar is a lunar calendar..so month starts with the sight of the moon...eid is the first day of 10th month i.e. shawwal...so again the moon is seen..this marks the end of ramadan and beginning of next month...hope this answer the ques.

thank you so much 😊 - great explantion 👏

I have never seen ramadan or Eid being celebrated ritually and it is nice to see it on QH

actually chand raat refers to the night new moon is sighted, representing the start of new lunar month. Chand raat has become more popularly associated with beginning of ramadan and for eid. Just like full moon night in each month on the 14th of the lunar month, chand raat is actually the first of the lunar month.

Also when ppl spot the chand, they say Ramadan Mubarak not really chand Mubarak , just wanted to share.
