The excitement for the start of Eid Al Fitr is quickly growing in the UAE, with the moon-observing committee prepared to assemble tonight (April 20) to determine the conclusion of Ramadan's fasting month and the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal.

Islamic months span 29 or 30 days, based on the Moon's visibility. If the Moon is seen tonight, Thursday, Ramadan will have lasted 29 days. Eid will occur on Friday, and residents will enjoy a four-day holiday to mark the occasion.

Muslims in the UAE and across the globe are encouraged to look for the crescent moon on Thursday evening (April 20), which aligns with Ramadan 29 (1444 AH) in the Islamic calendar.

Nations worldwide are closely monitoring for the Shawwal crescent, and those who don't see it on Thursday have already declared Saturday, April 22, as the first day of Eid Al Fitr.

Here's a list of countries that have confirmed Saturday as the inaugural day of the Islamic celebration thus far:
