The International Astronomy Center has announced the dates for Eid Al-Fitr for several countries, based on moon sighting predictions.
Malaysia: Eid Al-Fitr will be celebrated on Monday, March 31. The sun has just set, and since today is the 28th of Ramadan, the crescent moon is expected to be visible tomorrow, Sunday, making Monday the likely date for Eid.
Bangladesh: Similar to Malaysia, Eid will fall on Monday, March 31. The sun has just set in Bangladesh as well, and the 28th of Ramadan is being observed today. The moon is expected to be visible with the naked eye on Sunday, marking the start of Eid on Monday.
Brunei: Eid Al-Fitr will also be celebrated on Monday, March 31 in Brunei. As the sun has just set, it is anticipated that the crescent moon will be visible tomorrow, making Monday the official day of Eid.
Additionally, the International Astronomy Center captured the last moments of the moon for the month of Ramadan (1446 AH) in Abu Dhabi on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM UAE time. The moon was 16 degrees away from the sun at that time.
Furthermore, Indonesia has officially confirmed that Eid Al-Fitr will be observed on Monday, March 31, 2025, following the failure to sight the Shawwal crescent moon on Saturday, March 29.
These announcements offer clarity to millions of Muslims around the world as they prepare for the end of Ramadan and the start of Eid celebrations.
