Final Days of Ramadan 2025 Set Stage for Eid-ul-Fitr Moon Sightings

Saudi Arabia and India prepare for crescent moon sightings on March 29 and 30 to confirm Eid-ul-Fitr dates, marking the end of Ramadan's month-long fast.

Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 in Saudi Arabia will be on March 30 or 31, depending on the crescent moon sighting on March 29 after Maghrib prayers.
In India, Eid will be celebrated on March 31 or April 1, based on the moon sighting on March 30.
The Islamic calendar's reliance on lunar cycles causes variations in Eid dates across regions, with local religious authorities confirming the festival's start.
Eid-ul-Fitr marks the conclusion of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Global traditions for Eid include congregational prayers, family gatherings, acts of charity, and cultural practices such as Indonesia's 'mudik' homecoming.
