Ramadan 2025 begins with fasting observed by Muslims worldwide, starting March 1 if the crescent moon is sighted on February 28. The holy month commemorates the Quran's revelation, with fasting from sunrise to sunset and communal Iftar meals after dusk.

It's one of the most sacred months in Islam, symbolising a period of purification, self-discipline, and spiritual growth for the Muslim community worldwide.

In 2025, countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, along with the US and the UK, will attempt to sight the Ramadan crescent moon on the evening of Friday, February 28. If the moon is spotted, fasting will commence on Saturday, March 1. Otherwise, the holy month will begin on Sunday, March 2.

Ramadan 2025, a sacred month of fasting and prayer, is observed worldwide with unique traditions. Here's how it's celebrated in Saudi Arabia, India, and beyond.
