Ramadan 2025: Will India and Saudi Arabia Begin Fasting Together? Check Key Details On Moon Sighting Here

Ramadan 2025: As the sacred month of Ramadan 2025 approaches, millions of Muslims across the world eagerly await the first glimpse of the crescent moon. This marks the beginning of the holiest month in Islam, a time of fasting, prayer, and self-reflection. The sighting of the Ramadan 2025 moon is crucial in determining the exact date for the commencement of fasting in different countries.

Ramadan 2025 Moon Sighting: When Will Fasting Begin?

The start of Ramadan 2025 depends on the sighting of the crescent moon. In most cases, countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia spot the moon a day later than Saudi Arabia due to geographical differences. However, this year, there is a rare possibility that Muslims worldwide may sight the moon on the same night.

The start of Ramadan 2025 will depend on the sighting of the crescent moon. If the moon is seen on Friday, 28 February, Taraweeh prayers will begin that night, and fasting will start on Saturday, 1 March. However, if the moon is not visible, the month of Shaban will complete 30 days, and Ramadan will then begin on Sunday, 2 March.

India’s Ramadan 2025 Moon Sighting Date

In India, the crescent moon is expected to be visible on Saturday, March 1, 2025. If the moon is sighted, fasting will commence on Sunday, March 2, 2025. The official announcement will come from Islamic scholars after verifying moon sightings from different regions.

Final Announcement by Religious Authorities

The official confirmation of the Ramadan 2025 start date will be made by regional moon-sighting committees and religious bodies. Their decision will guide millions of Muslims in preparing for this spiritually enriching month of fasting and prayers.
