Muslims around the world are expected to begin observing the holy month of Ramadan on March 1, 2025, according to preliminary astronomical calculations.
Laylat al-Qadr, the holiest night of Ramadan, is expected to fall between the night of March 26 to March 27.
The night marks the moment when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Many Muslims dedicate the night to prayer and seeking blessings.
Eid al-Fitr, the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan, will likely be observed on March 30. Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion where Muslims come together with family and friends to celebrate the completion of the fast.
Following Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic world will observe Eid al-Adha, from June 6 to June 8, 2025.
Eid al-Adha commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It is a time of charity, sacrifice, and unity among the Muslim community.
Fatwa experts have cautioned that the exact dates of these religious holidays may shift by one day, depending on the local moon sighting. Muslims are advised to stay updated with their local religious authorities for official announcements.
