Ramadan 2025 Appeals
Ramadan Calendar 2025
As Ramadan follows the lunar calendar and relies on the sighting of the moon, the precise dates for the Ramadan calendar in 2025 won’t be confirmed until the evening preceding the new month, contingent upon the moon’s sighting.
The lunar calendar’s moon phases result in each lunar year being roughly ten days shorter than our commonly used calendar. Consequently, Ramadan shifts approximately ten days earlier each year, with the month lacking fixed dates. This variability means Ramadan spans various seasons over time, and the duration of daily fasts fluctuates according to daylight hours.
