The Ramadan crescent for 1447 AH (2026) has been officially sighted in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Accordingly, Wednesday, 18 February 2026, will be observed as the first day of Ramadan 1447 in those countries and in many others that follow the same sighting.
The Board and Management of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland congratulate the entire community and wish everyone Ramadan Mubarak — a blessed, peaceful and rewarding month of fasting, prayer and reflection.
The sighting also marks the start of Taraweeh prayers: the first Taraweeh is on Tuesday evening, starting 10 minutes after Isha prayer in ICCI.
We ask Allah to accept your fasting, prayers and good deeds, and to grant health and safety to all.
