Get ready for a meaningful Ramadan in Singapore! Find out more about the start of Ramadan and new initiatives for zakat payment.

Muslims in Singapore are gearing up for the arrival of Ramadan 2024, which is set to commence on March 12. The auspicious month begins with the sighting of the new moon as per the Islamic lunar calendar, following which religious authorities will officially announce the beginning of Ramadan. This period holds immense significance for the Muslim community in Singapore as they prepare for a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

In preparation for Ramadan, self-service kiosks for zakat payments will be conveniently accessible at 32 mosques across Singapore, a notable increase from the 16 mosques that offered this service during a pilot run in 2023. This move aims to streamline the process of fulfilling zakat fitrah obligations and make it more convenient for worshippers to contribute towards charitable causes during this sacred time.

Additionally, the expanded availability of zakat payment kiosks reflects the commitment of Singaporean Muslims to fulfill their religious duties and support those in need within the community. The increased accessibility to zakat facilities is expected to encourage more individuals to participate in the giving of alms and contribute to the welfare of society during the blessed month of Ramadan.

As Muslims in Singapore eagerly anticipate the start of Ramadan on March 12, the introduction of self-service kiosks for zakat payments signifies a positive step towards facilitating acts of charity and promoting community welfare. This development underscores the importance of embracing the spirit of generosity and compassion during this holy period, fostering unity and solidarity among worshippers in Singapore.
