Eidul Fitr 2025: Moon Sighting and Holiday Schedule in Pakistan

Eidul Fitr 2025 in Pakistan is predicted to fall on Monday, March 31. It is time at the end of Ramadan, after 29 days of fasting. We can see the Shawwal moon with human eyes if the weather remains clear. It will be seen on Sunday, March 30.

Will the Moon Be Visible on March 30?

According to the Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council, the new moon will be born on Saturday, March 29, at 3:58 PM (Pakistan time). By Sunday evening, it will be over 26 hours old. This periods, from birth to Sunday evening, make it visible in most parts of the country.

Islamic scholars say that we can see the moon when it is at least 18 hours old. The time gap between sundown and moonset should also be at least 40 minutes. Since this requirement will be fulfilled, there is no difficulty in moon sighting. This signifies that Eid ul Fitr will be celebrated on March 31, 2025.
 

Government’s Announcement on Eid Holidays

The government has officially publicized the Eid holidays. These start from Monday, March 31, to Wednesday, and end on April 2, 2025. These three days will allow people to celebrate Eid with their families and loved ones. We can follow the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) differently, like the Eid prayer.
 

Why Do Muslims Follow Moon Sighting for Eid?

Islam follows the lunar calendar. So, we can determine the start and end of each Islamic month with the moon. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) advised Muslims to depend on actual moon sightings. It is preferably than pre-determined calculations.
 

حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا:

"چاند دیکھ کر روزہ رکھو اور چاند دیکھ کر عید مناؤ، اور اگر بادل ہوں تو مہینے کے تیس دن مکمل کر لو۔"

(صحیح بخاری: 1906، صحیح مسلم: 1080)
 

These Ahadith emphasize the importance of moon sighting in Islam. This rule promotes unity among Muslims, ensuring they celebrate Eid together based on the natural lunar cycle.



 

Eid ul Fitr: A Time for Celebration and Charity

Eid ul Fitr is a time of gratitude, festivity, and giving. People dress in new clothes, exchange gifts, and perform acts of charity (Zakat-ul-Fitr) to support those in need. One of the most cherished traditions, especially among women and young girls, is applying mehndi designs for Eid.

From intricate Arabic patterns to simple floral designs, mehndi designs for Eid add beauty and cultural charm to the celebrations. Many prefer elegant and stylish mehndi patterns to complement their festive outfits. Whether opting for traditional or modern styles, the excitement of selecting mehndi designs for Eid begins days before the celebration, making it an essential part of the preparations.

May this Eid bring peace, happiness, and countless blessings to all. Eid Mubarak
