The sighting of the Shawwal crescent is crucial as it marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and the celebration of Eid Al Fitr. If the crescent is observed on the designated night, Eid Al Fitr will be celebrated on Sunday, 30 March 2025.
The Crescent Sighting Committee will meet immediately after the Maghrib prayer on the evening of 29 March. The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs has encouraged all those who witness the crescent to report their sightings directly to the Ministry’s building in Al Dafna.
This initiative is part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to ensure the accurate marking of significant Islamic dates. For more information, stay updated with the Ministry’s announcements.
