Ramadan 2025 in Sharjah: 10 iftar cannon locations announced
The Sharjah Police have identified 10 locations for launching the iftar cannon during the holy month of Ramadan. The cannons will be located at Al Majaz Waterfront, Muwailih Suburb Council, Al Siouh Suburb Council, Al Rahmaniya Suburb Council, and Al Hamriya Suburb Council. In the central region, two main locations have been identified — Al Dhaid Fort and Al Naeem Mosque in the Tawila'a neighborhood in the city of Al Madam. Locations have also been identified in the eastern region — Clock Tower and Al Hafiya Lake, alternating between the city of Kalba, in addition to the Khorfakkan Amphitheatre and the flagpole area in the city of Dibba Al Hisn. According to historians, the custom of firing cannons began in 10th-century Egypt when they were fired to let people know it was time for iftar. Dubai Police had earlier announced the locations of both stationary and mobile iftar cannons around the emirate on Monday, February 24. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar and is a time when Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, and other activities from sunrise until sunset. Depending on the moon's crescent sighting, Ramadan will likely commence on Saturday, March 1, 2025, according to the Hijri calendar published by the Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD). The UAE has called on all Muslims to sight the crescent for Ramadan on the evening of Friday, February 28, the Emirates Fatwa Council announced on Wednesday.
