The start of Ramadan depends on the sighting of the moon and may not be the same in all countries. The start of Ramadan is announced on the first night of the month when the moon is sighted.

Ramadan 2025 is expected to begin on the evening of Friday 28 February 2025, and will end on the evening of Sunday 30 March 2025, with the exact dates contingent upon the sighting of the moon. The beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan will be confirmed upon sighting of the new moon.
