Eid 2025: Eid-ul-Fitr, also called Meethi Eid, is a significant Islamic festival that marks the conclusion of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, prayers, and giving. Celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar, its date is determined by the sighting of the new moon.

In India, Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 is likely to be celebrated on March 31 or April 1, depending on the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon. On this special day, Muslims gather for the Eid prayer early in the morning, right after the Fajr prayer. The timing of the Eid Namaz varies across different cities, usually taking place shortly after sunrise. (Also read: Eid 2025: When is Eid ul-Fitr?

Significance and guidelines for Eid Namaz

The Eid prayer (Salat al-Eid) is a significant ritual of the festival, representing gratitude and unity among the community. This special prayer, performed in congregation, consists of two rakats (units of prayer) followed by a sermon (khutbah). Unlike daily prayers, Eid Namaz is offered only in the morning and is preferably performed in large gatherings at open grounds called Eidgahs or mosques.

The prayer must be completed before noon, and it is recommended to give Zakat al-Fitr (charitable donation) before offering Eid Namaz, ensuring that those in need can also partake in the festive celebrations.
