Eidul Fitr 2025: Predictions from Suparco and Holiday Announcements

The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) forecasts that Eidul Fitr will be celebrated on March 31, 2025, following the sighting of the crescent on March 30. Additionally, the federal government has announced three-day holidays for Eid. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will convene on March 30 for moon sightings to confirm the date.

The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) in Pakistan has announced that Eidul Fitr is anticipated to take place on March 31, 2025. According to their calculations, the crescent moon is expected to be visible on March 30, marking the conclusion of Ramadan after 29 days. As stated, “Consequently, Ramazan is expected to complete [in] 29 days, and the first day of Eidul Fitr will likely be observed on 31 March 2025.”

Suparco also noted that sighting the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia is considered highly unlikely on March 29 due to its age at sunset, predicted to be only approximately five hours old in Makkah. Therefore, the crescent is expected to become visible on March 30 and Eid celebrations are also slated for March 31 in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East.

Prior predictions by astronomers aligned with Suparco, forecasting Eidul Fitr for March 31, based on observations and the crescent’s age. They indicated that the crescent would be visible on the night of March 30, when it would be 26 hours old. Meanwhile, the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is set to convene on March 30 to observe the Shahwal moon, confirming the likely Eid date.

The federal government of Pakistan has announced holidays for the Eidul Fitr celebrations, stating that citizens will enjoy three days off from March 31 to April 2, 2025, as per a notification from the Cabinet Division.

In summary, Eidul Fitr 2025 is expected to be observed on March 31 in Pakistan, following scientific predictions and confirmations from various astronomical bodies. The visibility of the crescent moon on March 30 is crucial for marking the end of Ramadan, leading to the federal government’s declaration of holiday breaks during the festivities.

Eidul Fitr 2025 is predicted to be celebrated on March 31, based on scientific calculations by Suparco and corroborated by other astronomers. The probable visibility of the moon on March 30 signifies the end of Ramadan after 29 days, with the Pakistani government confirming three-day holidays starting March 31. Community gatherings for moon sighting will occur, ensuring a united celebration across the nation.
