As Ramadan progresses, many Muslims eagerly anticipate the end of this sacred month. The duration of Ramadan varies, depending on the sighting of the moon, which signals the beginning of the new lunar month. In this blog post, we will address the common question: How much longer until the end of Ramadan?

When Does Ramadan End?

The end of Ramadan, also known as Eid al-Fitr, is determined by the sighting of the new crescent moon – usually on the 29th day of Ramadan. If the moon is not sighted on the 29th day, Ramadan extends to 30 days. According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to fast until they sight the new moon or complete 30 days of fasting.

Who Determines the Start and End of Ramadan?

The start and end of Ramadan are determined by the sighting of the moon. Islamic organizations such as the Fiqh Council of North America, European Council for Fatwa and Research, or local moon sighting committees play key roles in moon sighting. Scholars and experts use astronomical calculations and rely on eyewitness accounts to verify moon sightings.

Why is the Sighting of the Moon Important?

In Islamic history, the sighting of the new crescent moon has significant religious implications. It marks the beginning and end of important months in the Islamic lunar calendar. For Ramadan specifically, the sighting of the moon determines when Muslims must start and stop fasting, and when to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

How Can I Know When Ramadan will End?

Due to the reliance on moon sighting, the exact end of Ramadan cannot be determined in advance. Islamic organizations, mosques, and local moon sighting committees usually make announcements regarding the sighting of the moon. Muslims also rely on official news outlets, community leaders, or Islamic apps to stay informed about the beginning and end of Ramadan.

What is Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr translates as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast.” It is a joyous celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. As the new crescent moon appears, Muslims gather to offer special prayers, give thanks to Allah for the strength to complete the month of fasting, and indulge in feasting and festivities with family and friends.

As we eagerly await the end of Ramadan, the exact duration cannot be predicted. Muslims across the globe patiently wait for the sighting of the new moon or the announcement from relevant authorities. This sacred month brings immense spiritual rewards and teaches patience and self-discipline. So, until the moon is sighted, let us continue to embrace the blessings and virtues of Ramadan.
