Eid consists of two major Islamic festivals celebrated worldwide:
- Eid al-Fitr in 2025 is expected to be celebrated on either Sunday, March 30 or Monday, March 31, 2025, depending on the sighting of the moon. It marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. The exact date varies by location based on moon sighting.
- Eid al-Adha in 2025 will begin on the evening of Friday, June 6, 2025, and end on the evening of Tuesday, June 10, 2025. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God and is celebrated after the Hajj pilgrimage.
Thus, the two Eid holidays in 2025 are:
Eid Festival| Expected Date(s)| Significance
---|---|---
Eid al-Fitr| March 30 or 31, 2025| End of Ramadan fasting
Eid al-Adha| June 6 to June 10, 2025| Festival of Sacrifice, after Hajj
These dates are subject to confirmation by the moon sighting in respective regions.
