Ramadan 2015
Lesson Brief
Al Arabiya
On June 16, Al Arabiya reported that Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court officially announced the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to be on Thursday. The determination was made after no sight had been made of the crescent moon on Wednesday.
This set features some great religious vocabulary for the holiest month in the Muslim calendar and is a good reference for any serious Arabic student.
