Reduce working hours during Ramadan one hour
The Prime Minister, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh on reducing working hours in ministries and state institutions all through the month of Ramadan.
Dabbagh said in a press statement on Sunday, attended by public opinion news agency that the government decided to reduce working hours in government departments, one hour means that the end of official working hours will be at one in the afternoon.
KUWAIT: With only one day to go till the start of Ramadan, both opposition leaders and governments in several Arab nations are asking themselves, will it bring a surge of popular protests spurred by religious fervor or pass quietly as hungry and thirsty people avoid the sweltering streets? With the Arab Spring now in its seventh month and showing signs of stalling, the Muslim month of fasting, prayer and piety could give new life to the wave of unrest or bring it to a conclusion. Most observers of Arab politics are betting, however, that the special practices of Ramadan are likely to stir the pot – but only after dark.
Sunni Endowment announced that on Sunday will be the first day of the holy month of Ramadan after sighting the moon of Ramadan in some countries. “
A source in the Sunni Endowment, told all of Iraq [where] on Saturday that “the Sunni Endowment announce that tomorrow the first day of Ramadan for the Hijri year 1432 and will stop at six pm news conference for this purpose announcing the details.
What does the word “Ramadan” mean?
Ramadan is the name of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The original meaning of the word was “scorching heat”.
Does the month of Ramadan commemorate anything?

What day in 2011 does the beginning of Ramadan take place? How long?
Predicted to take place July 31 / August 1, 2011 thru August 31
Why do you say Ramadan is “predicted” to start on a certain date?
As I mentioned above, each month in the Islamic calendar starts with the sighting of the new crescent moon. Scientific calculations can pinpoint exactly when the astronomical new moon occurs, and can predict with some accuracy when the first crescent will be visible after this, but there are many factors that can complicate this, such as the weather. For this reason, and so that even ordinary Muslims who are not astronomers can take part, the rule is that the new crescent moon must be sighted by human observers. And we don’t know exactly when it will appear until it’s seen.
Do business and government offices close during Ramadan?
Its typically business as usual for businesses, government offices, and markets however operating hours may become shorter in the day.
BAGHDAD (owners Ahmed): Baghdadis these days preparing for Ramadan. And crowded markets and private Shorja market in central Baghdad shoppers to buy supplies to prepare dishes that Atkhalo table of Ramadan.

It seems that the biggest challenges faced by families of Iraq these days is the high food prices and attract the grocer Abu Ali to the price per kilogram of dates which starts fasting break their fast by reaching four thousand Iraqi dinars.
High prices and lack of resources led many families to buy tableware Ramadan on a daily basis was also confirmed by the grocer Abu Haidar.
