Eid in Pakistan 2025 Celebrations Begin
The celebrations will bring people together, with traditional customs including visiting relatives, giving gifts, and enjoying traditional foods. Children will receive traditional cash gifts, and families will gather for Eid prayers and festivities, making it a truly special occasion.
Punjab has announced a nine-day Eidul Fitr holiday for schools, allowing students and teachers to celebrate the festival before the new academic year begins, with Eidul Fitr likely to fall on March 31, 2025.
The holiday period, which starts on March 28, will give students and teachers ample time to prepare for the festivities and spend quality time with their families. Government schools are expected to reopen on April 7, while annual results will be declared on April 4. The likelihood of moon sighting on March 30, 2025, in Pakistan is high, according to the Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), which means Ramazan will complete in 29 days.
The federal government has already declared a three-day holiday for Eidul Fitr from March 31 to April 2, and the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee will sight the moon of Shawwal on March 30. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has also predicted a good chance of sighting the new moon on the same day. Eid al-Fitr is an Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and is traditionally celebrated with congregational prayers, family gatherings, and festive food.
As Muslims in Pakistan and around the world prepare to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, they will come together with their loved ones to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. With its rich traditions and customs, Eid al-Fitr is a time for celebration, forgiveness, and renewal, and its significance extends beyond the Muslim community, promoting unity and joy among people of all faiths.
