Suparco’s Prediction for Eidul Fitr 2025: Crescent Visibility and Celebrations
Suparco predicts Eidul Fitr 2025 will be on March 31, with the crescent visible in Pakistan on March 30. In Saudi Arabia, the moon is also expected to be sighted on March 30. A Ruet-e-Hilal Committee meeting is scheduled for March 30, with Eid holidays set from March 31 to April 2.
The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) projects that Eidul Fitr in 2025 will occur on March 31. Based on scientific calculations, Suparco states that the crescent moon is expected to be visible in Pakistan on March 30, allowing for Ramadan to conclude in 29 days.
The crescent moon will not be observable in Saudi Arabia on March 29 due to its age, which will be approximately five hours at sunset in Makkah. Therefore, a sighting is expected on March 30 in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East, indicating that Eid will likely also be celebrated on March 31 in those regions.
Astronomers reiterate the expectation for Eid to be celebrated on March 31 in Pakistan, noting the crescent’s age of 26 hours on the night of March 30, thus making it visible. This aligns with previous predictions concerning the moon sighting.
In anticipation of Eidul Fitr, the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee plans to hold a meeting on March 30 for Shawwal moon sighting. Both the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and zonal committees will convene at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony to confirm the moon sighting.
Additionally, the federal government has announced a three-day holiday period for Eidul Fitr 2025. The designated holidays will commence from March 31 (Monday) and extend through April 2 (Wednesday).
In summary, Eidul Fitr is projected to be celebrated on March 31, 2025, according to Suparco and corroborated by astronomers and the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. The crescent moon is anticipated to be seen on March 30, with the federal government declaring a three-day holiday for this occasion.
