The moon sighting before Ramadan is a practice that is a traditional and essential aspect of the Islamic faith as it determines the commencement of the month of fasting from dawn

For Ramadan 2025, the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia, along with official moon sighting committees worldwide, has called upon Muslims to search for the crescent moon on Friday, February 28, 2025 — corresponding to 29 Sha’ban 1446 AH.

Muslims around the world will begin observing Ramadan on March 01, 2025, as the crescent moon was seen in various countries. However, in India and some other countries, the moon was not visible on February 28,
