Ramadan 2025

Ramadan is one of the twelve months in the Islamic lunar calendar which is also known as the Hijri Calendar. The definition of the word "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root "ramida" or "ar-ramad," meaning scorching heat or dryness. Ramadan takes place in the ninth month and consists of fasting in its entirety. It is also one of the five pillars of Islam.

What The Quran Says About Ramadan

The mention of Ramadan takes place in the holy Quran. Allah SWT mentions Ramadan once in the following verses:

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

How Long Is Ramadan 2025

Ramadan lasts for the entire month. You must be wondering when is Ramadan 2025, this year we are expecting for Ramadan to take place on February 28th till 30th March. Typically, Ramadan lasts around 30-31 days. Please be aware that these dates can vary subject to moon sighting. Please check-in with your local mosque committee for more accurate regional times.

For those that are observing Ramadan, do not get discouraged when becoming aware of when does Ramadan end in 2025. Let the period after Ramadan be a means for you to continue the betterment of your character and spiritual journey.

Changes To Look Out for in Ramadan

The 1st day of Ramadan 2025 will consist of Suhoor, Iftar and Taraweeh. Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal that is consumed by Muslims before Fajr’s call to prayer, it marks the beginning of their fast. Iftar is a meal which is served at the end of the day, marking the breakage of the days fast after Maghrib prayer. You can refer to your local mosque council for a Ramadan Timetable that’ll suggest when to eat during Ramadan​. Taraweeh is a special nightly prayer that is observed during the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims pray in congregation at their local mosques whereby the salat (prayer) is led to complete an entire Quran via recitation for the whole month.

Laylatul Qadr

Another important event that takes place during Ramadan is Laylatul Qadr, which is formally known as The Night of Power. The last 10 days of Ramadan 2025 will range from 20th – 30th March 2025 in which The Night of Power can typically fall.

Muslims must spend their time and energy devoting the holy month to Allah SWT in supplications and prayer. They must refrain from all things that are soul-destroying and practice patience, gratitude and appreciation for what Allah SWT has blessed them with.

Charity is rewarded immensely when given during Ramdan and especially when it falls under the last 10 nights, learn more about how you can make a difference to those in dire need of your support.

If you know a fellow Muslim and would like to understand how to wish someone a happy Ramadan, then you can simply do so by saying “Ramadan Mubarak!”.

May all your Duas be accepted this Ramdan, Ameen!
