Thu Feb 27 16:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Global Muslim Community to Observe Ramadan Crescent Moon on Same Evening in 2025
**Riyadh/New Delhi** – In a rare celestial event, Muslims worldwide will search for the crescent moon signifying the start of Ramadan 2025 on the same evening, Friday, February 28th, 2025. This unprecedented synchronization, announced by the Saudi Supreme Court and moon sighting committees globally, breaks with the usual pattern where the Gulf states often sight the moon first, followed by other regions a day later.
The unified date stems from a remarkable alignment this year, with numerous countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and many others in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, commencing the preceding month of Shaban on the same day as Saudi Arabia.
If the crescent moon is sighted on February 28th, Ramadan will begin on March 1st, 2025. Otherwise, it will commence on March 2nd. The event is anticipated to foster a heightened sense of global unity within the Muslim community. Many religious leaders offered well-wishes for a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.
