The Crescent moon has been sighted on Saturday, March 29, 2025.

The Sultan of Sokoto His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar 11, has announced the sighting of the Crescent moon across cities in Nigeria.

With the sighting of the Shawwal moon, the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end.

It also marks the beginning of the festival of Eid-al -Fitr.

Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and observed by Muslims as an act of spiritual purification through charity and good deeds.

Saudi Arabia had more than 10 astronomical observatories used to determine the start and end of the Islamic lunar calendar, including Ramadan and Eid.

This means Sunday, March 30, will be Eid Fitr in Saudi Arabia.
