Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time of profound spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. It is a period of intense prayer, fasting from dawn (fajr) to dusk (maghrib), charity, and increased religious devotion. This year, Ramadan 2025 is expected to begin on the evening of Friday, February 28th, and end on the evening of Sunday, March 30th, contingent upon the moon sighting, as is the custom in the Islamic tradition.
The exact dates of Ramadan are determined by the lunar cycle and the sighting of the new moon. While February 28th is the predicted start date, it’s crucial to remember that the actual commencement of Ramadan will be officially announced after the sighting of the crescent moon. This practice emphasizes the importance of observing natural phenomena in alignment with religious observances.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that the Islamic month of Sha’ban is likely to begin on Friday, January 31st. This prediction is based on astronomical calculations by the UAE’s astronomy center, which indicate that the new moon of Sha’ban will be visible on that date. Consequently, the month of Rajab, which precedes Sha’ban, will consist of 30 days.
Furthermore, the UAE has also predicted that the crescent moon of Ramadan may be sighted on February 28th. This would mark the beginning of the holy month of fasting for Muslims worldwide.
