Eid al-Fitr Observance

The Shawwal moon was not sighted in Sri Lanka, resulting in Eid al-Fitr being observed on Saturday. This announcement impacts the Muslim community's religious observances.

Another year, another celestial game of hide-and-seek with the moon. Imagine being so committed to lunar spotting that an entire country's weekend plans hinge on whether some cosmic sliver decides to play peek-a-boo through the clouds.
