Check the Ramadan Schedule 2025, How Many Days Until We Meet the Holy Month?

Kapanlagi.com - The holy month of Ramadan 1446 Hijri is just around the corner! Muslims around the world are preparing to welcome this moment full of blessings and forgiveness. Ramadan is not just a time for fasting, but also the perfect opportunity to enhance worship and strengthen bonds of brotherhood.

Every year, Muslims in Indonesia look forward to certainty regarding when the fasting month will begin. Based on the calculations issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) of the Republic of Indonesia, the beginning of Ramadan 2025 is expected to fall on March 1, 2025. However, as per the tradition that has been ongoing, this certainty will be determined through a meeting held before the end of the month of Sha'ban. This decision serves as a guideline for Muslims in Indonesia to perform fasting simultaneously.

Interestingly, in determining the start of the month of Ramadan, the government and Islamic organizations such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) have different calculation methods. Muhammadiyah has set the beginning of fasting in 2025 based on the Unified Global Hijri Calendar (KHGT), while NU is still waiting for the results of the hilal sighting for confirmation.

So, how many days until we enter Ramadan 2025? Let’s check out the complete information and get ready to welcome this blessed month.

1. Ramadan Countdown 2025

The countdown to the holy month of Ramadan always captures the attention of Muslims, and this year feels even more exciting! According to data from the Hijri Calendar released by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the start of fasting is estimated to fall on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

From the date of January 30, 2025, which we are currently experiencing, Ramadan is only 30 days away! However, although this estimate is tempting, an official decision will be announced through a government meeting at the end of February 2025, where the date of 1 Ramadan will be determined through the method of calculation and sighting the crescent moon.

Therefore, let us be patient while waiting for certainty and use this countdown as a momentum to increase our voluntary worship, maintain a healthy diet, and deepen our spiritual quality so that we can welcome the holy month with enthusiasm and optimal readiness.

2. Methods for Determining the Beginning of Ramadan

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims in Indonesia have a unique way of determining its start. The Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia relies on two different methods: hisab and rukyatul hilal.

The hisab method, used by Muhammadiyah, relies on advanced astronomical calculations through the Global Unified Hijri Calendar (KHGT), which predicts that 1 Ramadan 1446 AH falls on March 1, 2025.

Meanwhile, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) chooses the rukyatul hilal approach, which involves direct observation of the hilal at the end of the month of Sha'ban. If the hilal is sighted, fasting begins the following day; if not, the month of Sha'ban will be completed as 30 days.

Thus, NU is still awaiting the observation results to confirm the exact date for the start of fasting in 2025.

3. When is Idul Fitri 2025?

While waiting for the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, many are curious about when the celebration of Idul Fitri 2025 will take place. According to the Hijri calendar, 1 Syawal 1446 AH is estimated to fall on March 31 or April 1, 2025. However, Muhammadiyah has set Idul Fitri for March 30, 2025.

Meanwhile, the government estimates that 1 Syawal will fall on March 31 or April 1. All these decisions will be confirmed through a isbat session that determines the exact date.
