Eid al-Fitr 2025 is expected to be celebrated onSunday, March 30, or Monday, March 31, depending on when the new crescent moon is sighted, according to UK-based Islamic charity organization, Islamic Relief. The festival is celebrated over the first three days of Shawwāl, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar.

With the expected sighting of the waxing crescent moon by the end of March, nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide and the less than 1% of Rhode Islanders who are Muslim, according to the Pew Research Center , will celebrate Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims believe the first verses of the Quran - Islam's holy book - were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad during this time Eid al-Fitr is the "festival of breaking the fast".
