Breaking: Eid al-Fitr to be Celebrated on Sunday, March 30, 2025, as Moon is Sighted in Nigeria

The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has officially announced that the crescent moon marking the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal has been sighted in various locations across Nigeria. Consequently, Nigerian Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Fitr tomorrow, Sunday, March 30, 2025.

The Sultan’s announcement follows reports from moon sighting committees across the country, confirming the visibility of the new moon. The sighting signifies the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, prayers, and spiritual reflection observed by millions of Muslims in Nigeria and around the world.

In a statement issued from the Sultan’s palace in Sokoto, His Eminence congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and urged them to sustain the virtues of piety, charity, and unity fostered during the holy month. He also emphasized the importance of prayers for peace, stability, and prosperity in Nigeria.

“We give thanks to Almighty Allah for granting us the opportunity to witness another Ramadan and its successful completion. As we mark Eid al-Fitr, I urge all Muslims to continue in the spirit of love, tolerance, and kindness that Ramadan teaches us,” the Sultan stated.

He further advised Muslims to use the occasion to extend goodwill to the less privileged and to reflect on the lessons of Ramadan, urging adherence to the Islamic teachings of compassion and community service.

With the official confirmation of the moon sighting, preparations for the Eid festivities have already begun across the country. Muslims are expected to gather in large congregational prayers at Eid grounds and mosques on Sunday morning to observe the special Eid prayer, after which families and communities will engage in celebrations marked by feasting, charity, and social gatherings.

Security agencies and local authorities have also assured the public of adequate measures to ensure a peaceful and safe celebration nationwide.

Eid al-Fitr, meaning the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a significant religious holiday in Islam, marking the end of the month-long fasting period. It is traditionally observed with special prayers, feasting, and acts of charity, in line with Islamic teachings.
