s considered one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims. In Ramadan, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Qur’an, and fast from food and drink during the sunlit hours as a means of drawing closer to God and cultivating self-control, gratitude, and compassion for those less fortunate. Ramadan is a month of intense spiritual rejuvenation with a heightened focus on devotion, during which Muslims spend extra time reading the Qur’an and performing special prayers. Those unable to fast, such as pregnant or nursing women, the sick, or elderly people & children, are exempt from fasting.

The United Arab Emirates' Ramadan Crescent Moon Sighting Committee has announced that Ramadan 2025 will begin on Saturday, March 1. The decision was made after officials sighted the new crescent moon, marking the start of the holy month.

During Ramadan, Muslims across the UAE and the world will observe fasting from dawn to sunset, engage in increased prayers, and focus on acts of charity. The exact dates of Ramadan vary each year based on the Islamic lunar calendar, with the start determined by the moon sighting.
