Saudi-based platform Expatriates.com has announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle that renowned astronomer and visionary expert, Abdullah Al-Khudairi, has forecasted the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan to fall on Saturday, March 1, 2025.
Al-Khudairi, a respected figure in the field of astronomy and moon sighting, based his prediction on precise astronomical calculations. While the final confirmation of Ramadan’s commencement traditionally depends on crescent moon sighting by Islamic scholars and authorities, Al-Khudairi’s expertise lends significant weight to the forecast.
The announcement has sparked discussions across social media, with many eagerly anticipating the holiest month in Islam, a period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection observed by millions worldwide.
As the date approaches, Islamic authorities across various nations will conduct official moon sighting procedures to confirm the exact start of Ramadan. Until then, Al-Khudairi’s astronomical projections provide a glimpse into the likely timeline for this sacred month of devotion.
