The crescent moon for Eid-ul-Fitr was sighted in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. As a result, the people of the Kingdom will come together to celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid on Sunday.
Saudi media outlets confirmed the moon sighting, officially declaring that the festivities will commence the following day. Eid-ul-Fitr, a significant religious event for Muslims worldwide, is observed with prayers, gatherings, and feasts to mark the completion of a month of fasting and devotion.
Meanwhile, in several other countries, including Malaysia, Australia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, and Brunei, the Shawwal moon was not sighted on Saturday. Due to this, authorities in these nations have announced that Ramadan will be completed with 30 fasting days, and Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on Monday, March 31.
In Malaysia, religious officials made the announcement after conducting moon sighting efforts at multiple designated locations. Since the crescent moon remained unseen, it was officially declared that Eid would fall on March 31. Similar confirmations were made by religious authorities in other countries, ensuring that the observance aligns with Islamic lunar calendar traditions.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a time of joy, reflection, and gratitude for Muslims around the world. Families gather to perform the special Eid prayer, share meals, and exchange greetings of love and kindness. Regardless of the date of celebration, the essence of Eid remains the same—marking the end of a spiritually enriching month and embracing the blessings of togetherness and faith.
