Eid-ul-Fitr 2025: Ramadan has entered its final week, and Muslims across the globe are eagerly anticipating the joyous celebration that marks the end of a month of fasting from dawn to dusk. It is important to note that in 2025, the Ramzan in India, one of the holiest months in Islam, began on Sunday, March 2, following the sighting of the new crescent moon on Saturday, March 1. In Saudi Arabia, Ramadan started a day earlier on March 1. The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the start of each Hijri month is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. As lunar months can be either 29 or 30 days long, the exact date of Eid varies each year, depending on moon sightings confirmed by religious authorities.
Since Ramzan began on March 2 in India, Eid-ul-Fitr is expected to be celebrated on March 31 or April 1, depending on the crescent moon sighting, which marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal.
