Another year, another debate on identity, when Saudi Arabia states that the ID-Ul-Fitr 1446 will fall on Sunday, March 30, 3025, the world Muslim community is divided when celebrating. The new crescent Society in the UK has already raised concern about this message, calling it a “contradictory” and emphasizing the scientific inability to see the crescent shoing on the reported date.
For centuries, the Islamic calendar has relied on real monitoring of the month to determine the beginning of months, especially for significant cases such as Ramadan and ID. However, modern astronomical calculations allow scientists to predict the visibility of the half -moon with incredible accuracy, and this year the ID dispute was intensified by the presence of solar eclipse on the day when Saudi Arabian officials claimed that half a month had been noticed.
According to astronomers, it was almost impossible to testify to the new crescent so quickly after the eclipse, which made Saudi Arabia very questionable. However, the story suggests that such declarations are not uncommon, which makes many believe that these “phantom signs” are in line with the UMM al-Qura’s reprinted calendar rather than actual visibility.
The statement of the new crescent in the UK states: “It seems that we head to another split this year, although we will know exactly this weekend. This year is very controversial because the split is probably [in the UK]It’s quite simple. Our 29[th day of] Ramadan will be on Sunday, March 30. The moon will be easily visible in the UK. This means that the ID will be on Monday 31 March. This, by the way, will be the same date for mosques that monitor Morocco / South Africa. For the mosques that follow Saudi Arabia, everything is very controversial. On Saturday, March 29, Saudi will officially look for a month. On this date, the month cannot scientifically see anywhere in the Saudi, Middle East, Asia, Africa or Europe, even with telescopes. Despite this, most likely, Saudi will prepare scientifically “impossible” self -identification. These Phantom Moon signs are virtually annual incidents and seem to match their previous UMM Al Acura calendar, a calendar that does not correspond to the lunar. “
Split of ID-ul-Fitro 2025: When will different countries celebrate?
For Muslims in the UK, the question, if noted, depends on which organ in identity they perform. The new Crescent Society confirmed that Ramadan will fall in the UK on Sunday, March 30, and the crescent is easily visible.
This means that many in the UK – mosques following Morocco and South Africa – will celebrate ID on Monday, March 31. However, for those who adhere to the Saudi Arabian Declaration, ID will be observed on Sunday, March 30, despite scientific disputes.
This split became an annual phenomenon, leaving many wondering whether the world Muslim community will be celebrated in one day. Despite the current discussion, there is one thing that unites everything: the beauty of the moon.
The statement added: “In fact, this day, there will be an eclipse. It is usually known that you do not see a new crescent a few hours after the eclipse. There is a little chance that they do not claim it, and Saudi states ID on Monday. Some news even thinks. Saudi Arabia. “
The new half -moon Society called on Muslims to come out on Sunday night, whether it would be Ida’s celebration or still fasting to witness the half moon. The new half -moon Society stated: “Will you do the ID on Sunday, March 30, or there will be a post – it’s still a great opportunity to have a soon and see the Eid moon with your own eyes.
Big Picture: Time for Reflections and Unity
This issue is based on the question of whether the tradition should be overcome, whether modern astronomical knowledge should have the advantage in determining Islamic dates. While the world consensus is not achieved, Muslims around the world will continue to navigate these differences with patience, faith and a common sense of celebration – if they were.
In addition to the discussion, the ID-ul-Fitre remains a time of joy, thanks and community. No matter what you celebrate on Sunday or Monday, the essence of the id remains the same: the moment to think, connect with loved ones and expand kindness to others. The true spirit of the ID exceeds the dates, reminding us that unity goes not only in what we note, but also how we perceive the values that determine this blessed case.
