Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – The crescent moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, signaling the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the arrival of Eid Al-Fitr. The festival will be celebrated on Sunday, March 30, 2025, across the Kingdom and in several other countries that follow Saudi Arabia’s moon sighting announcements.
Eid Al-Fitr, also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is one of the most significant Islamic celebrations, marking the conclusion of a month-long period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Traditionally, the occasion begins with special prayers at mosques and open grounds, followed by communal gatherings, festive meals, and acts of charity.
Authorities in Saudi Arabia confirmed the moon sighting after observations by astronomers and religious scholars. Many Islamic nations and communities around the world are expected to align their celebrations with this announcement, while others may wait for local moon sightings.
As families and friends prepare for the festivities, governments and religious leaders have urged people to observe the holiday with gratitude, kindness, and generosity, emphasizing the importance of helping those in need.
Eid Mubarak to all celebrating!
