The EID-UL-FITR 2025 in Saudi Arabia is likely to be celebrated on March 30, 2025 if the mid-month month is observed on March 29. If the moon is not visible at this date, Eid will be celebrated on March 31, 2025.
Why is the Moon’s observation in Ramzan?
Observation of the Moon is important during Ramadan because it denotes the beginning and end of Islamic months. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, begins with the observation of the new crescent moon, and the Eid-UL-Fitr, which celebrates the end of Ramadan, is also determined by the Moon.
Observation of the moon’s crescent signals the beginning and end of Islamic lunar months.
Because the Islamic calendar is based on a lunar cycle, each month is either 29 or 30 days, depending on the visibility of the Moon. Observing the moon signals the beginning of the new month in the Islamic calendar.
What are the two main types of EID that Muslims celebrate?
EID-UL-FITR: EID-UL-FITR indicates the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting. It is the day of celebrations, gratitude and joy, where Muslims thank Allah for the power to complete their fasting.
EID-AL-ADHA: EID-AL-ADHA resembles the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Isma’il in obedience to Allah’s command. Instead, Allah gave Aries to sacrifice, symbolizing subordinates and faith.
The meaning of Ramadan
Ramadan is a time when Muslims increase their worship, including recitation of the Qur’an, offering other prayers (Tarawih), giving charity (zakat) and involvement in the act of kindness. This is done to find a loved one to Allah and earn rewards for their good deeds.
