EID 2025 Moon Observation: Australian Fatwa Council announces the official date of the EID-UL-FITR 2025

This method to determine the beginning of Eid follows well -established learned principles, balancing the traditional vision of the moon with modern astronomical calculations. While different Islamic communities can follow variable methods, the underlying spirit remains the same: a collective moment of joy and devotion.

The Council announced: “The Australian Fatwa Council confirmed, after new requests for information from local and world observatories that Sydney, Shawwal’s new moon will be born on Saturday March 29, 2025, at 9:57 p.m. after sunset, at night. The next day cannot be the first of the month of Shawwal. »»

The National Council of Australian Imams stressed the importance of unity and respect within the Muslim community, recognizing the diversity of interpretations concerning the observation of the Moon. The Council encouraged all Muslims to adopt the common values ​​which bind them and to reflect on the importance of standing together in faith.

In addition, this EID, Dr. Ibrahim Abu Mohamad, called on the Muslim community to keep their brothers and sisters in Gaza, in Palestine, in their prayers and their generous gifts. While Muslims celebrate, they remember the importance of global solidarity and support for those who face difficulties.

Ramadan’s reflection and the spirit of Eid

For a whole month, Muslims around the world have devoted themselves to fasting, prayer, charity and self -discipline. Ramadan is a deeply spiritual journey that strengthens faith and encourages acts of kindness and the last days of Ramadan, including Laylatul Qadr or the night of power, are filled with intense prayers and sincere supplications.

The EID-UL-FITR, which means that the “Festival of Breaking the Fast”, is a reward for this devotion when the day begins with special Eid prayers, followed by festive gatherings where families and friends meet to share meals, exchange gifts and exercise warm wishes. It is also time to give Zakat al-Fitr, a charity by ensuring that those who need it can participate in the celebrations.

Eid Mubarak of Australia in the world

The EID is not only a festival, it is a reminder of faith, gratitude and to restore. While Muslim communities across Australia and beyond come together for this blessed opportunity, the Grand Mufti and the Australian Fatwa Council respond to their warmest wishes:

May Allah accept your fast, your prayers and your good deeds. Eid Mubarak!
