Ramadan 2025: When will the holy month of Muslims begin in India? Know all details

Ramadan 2025: Muslims around the world observe the holy month of Ramadan every year, a period of deep spiritual reflection and fasting. Ramadan 2025 is expected to begin on Saturday, March 1, in most Islamic countries, Gulf News reported citing astronomers.

The festival begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, which usually appears one night after a new moon. In 2025, Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of March 1.

According to the Gulf News report, the Abu Dhabi-based International Astronomical Centre stated that Islamic countries will observe the crescent moon marking the start of the blessed month on Friday, February 28. And hence, based on accurate astronomical calculations, the anticipated first day of Ramadan is likely to be on March 1, 2025., astronomers said.

However, the final decision will be taken after the moon sighting. These calculations provide a valuable guide for Muslims in determining the beginning of the holy month and planning for this significant period of fasting, prayer and reflection.

Ramadan History and Significance

Mohammad Odeh, Chairman of the centre, told Gulf News that the crescent will be visible through telescopes in West Asia, most of Africa, and southern Europe, while it may be seen with the naked eye across large parts of the Americas.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a sacred time when Muslims around the world fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. The start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon, making astronomical calculations and observations essential in confirming its arrival.

One of the five pillars of Islam – along with faith, prayer, charity, and the pilgrimage – Ramadan commemorates the Quran first being revealed to the Prophet Mohammad, a sacred moment honoured with abstinence between sunrise and sunset.

Ramadan is a holy month dedicated to prayer and reading the Quran. Generosity and giving to worthy causes and neighbours are encouraged. It is a period for reflection, self-restraint, and warmth intended to bring Muslims closer to Allah, hence the abstention from earthly distractions.
