As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims around the world, including Pakistan, are eagerly preparing for this blessed time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The sighting of the Ramadan moon marks the beginning of this sacred month, and in 2025, the process of moon sighting has once again become a topic of great interest and importance. Let’s explore the details of Ramadan 2025, the predictions, and how Pakistanis are preparing for this spiritual journey. 
The Significance of Moon Sighting
In Islam, the lunar calendar determines the dates of religious events, including Ramadan. The sighting of the crescent moon is a crucial tradition that signals the start of Ramadan. This practice is not only a religious obligation but also a moment of unity for Muslims worldwide. In Pakistan, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee plays a vital role in confirming the moon sighting and officially announcing the beginning of Ramadan.
Saudi Arabia’s Call for Moon Sighting
Saudi Arabia, home to the two holiest cities in Islam, Mecca and Medina, has called on Muslims in the kingdom to look for the Ramadan moon on the evening of February 28, 2025. The Saudi Supreme Court has urged anyone who sights the moon with the naked eye or through binoculars to report their observation to the nearest court. This act is considered a righteous deed that benefits the entire Muslim community.
Predictions for Ramadan 2025 in Pakistan
In Pakistan, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has provided scientific predictions regarding the moon sighting. According to SUPARCO, the new moon for Ramadan will be born on February 28, 2025, at 5:45 PM Pakistan Standard Time. However, the visibility of the crescent moon on this day is expected to be extremely low due to several factors:
- The moon’s age at sunset will be only 12 hours.
- The moon’s altitude will be around 5 degrees.
- The angular separation between the moon and the sun will be approximately 7 degrees.
These conditions make it highly unlikely for the crescent to be seen with the naked eye, even with optical aid. As a result, SUPARCO predicts that Ramadan in Pakistan will likely begin on March 2, 2025, with the first fast observed on that day.
The Role of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, will meet in Peshawar on February 28, 2025, to review testimonies from across the country and make the final decision regarding the moon sighting. The meeting will include representatives from various institutions, such as the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Pakistan Meteorological Department, and SUPARCO. Zonal members from major cities like Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and Quetta will also participate in the deliberations.
Ramadan in Pakistan: A Time of Spiritual Renewal
Ramadan is a month of immense spiritual significance for Muslims. It is a time for fasting from dawn to sunset, increased prayer, charity, and self-reflection. In Pakistan, the holy month is observed with great enthusiasm and devotion. Families gather for pre-dawn meals (Sehri) and break their fast together at sunset (Iftar). Mosques are filled with worshippers, and the recitation of the Quran becomes a central part of daily life.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Ramadan in Pakistan is the spirit of generosity and community. Many people set up roadside stalls to provide free food and drinks to those returning home in the evening. Charity drives and food distributions are organized to ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can partake in the blessings of Ramadan.
Eid ul Fitr 2025 Predictions
The end of Ramadan is marked by the celebration of Eid ul Fitr, a joyous occasion that brings families and communities together. SUPARCO has also predicted the sighting of the Shawwal moon, which will determine the date of Eid ul Fitr. According to their calculations, the Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 30, 2025, meaning Eid ul Fitr will likely be celebrated on March 31, 2025, in Pakistan.
As Muslims in Pakistan and around the world prepare for Ramadan 2025, the excitement and anticipation are palpable. The sighting of the Ramadan moon is not just a scientific or religious event; it is a moment that unites millions of people in faith and devotion. Whether Ramadan begins on March 1 or March 2, the essence of this holy month remains the same: a time for spiritual growth, compassion, and gratitude.
For Pakistani readers, especially young students, understanding the significance of moon sighting and the preparations for Ramadan can deepen their appreciation for this special time. As we await the official announcement from the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, let us all prepare our hearts and minds to welcome the blessings of Ramadan with open arms. Ramadan Mubarak
