Ramadan 2025 Start Date Confirmed – Everything You Need To Know Details

In 2025, Ramadan is expected to commence on the evening of Friday, February 28, or Saturday, March 1, depending on moon sighting, and conclude on Sunday, March 30, with the observance of Eid al-Fitr.

Fasting, known as Sawm, is one of Islam’s Five Pillars and requires abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn (Fajr) to sunset (Maghrib).

Key Aspects of Ramadan:

• Suhoor (Pre-Dawn Meal): A nutritious meal consumed before dawn to sustain energy throughout the day.
• Iftar (Breaking the Fast): The fast is traditionally broken with dates and water, followed by a larger meal.
• Spiritual Reflection: Increased devotion through prayer, recitation of the Quran, and avoiding negative speech or behavior.

Who is Exempt from Fasting?

Certain individuals are not required to fast, including:

• Children below puberty age
• Elderly individuals and those with chronic illnesses
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Travelers and those with temporary health conditions

Those unable to fast may compensate by making up missed days or providing meals to those in need, depending on their situation.

Health and Well-being During Ramadan

To maintain well-being during fasting, it is essential to:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours.
• Eat a Balanced Diet: Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats for optimal nutrition.
