Update: Sighting of the Ramadan crescent confirmed in Tumair and Sudair, Saudi Arabia.
The start of Ramadan will depend on the sighting of the new moon. Muslims across the globe will be looking for the new moon of Ramadan on Friday 28th February 2025 around Maghrib time.
If the new moon is spotted on Friday, Saturday 1st March will be the 1st day of Ramadan, and we will pray our first Tarawih on Friday evening. If the moon is not sighted on Friday, the 1st of Ramadan will be on Sunday 2nd March, and we will pray our first Tarawih on Saturday evening. Due to cloud coverage making local visibility difficult, many Muslim communities follow sightings from further East to the UK. The Coordination Committee of Major Islamic Centres and Mosques of London typically follow Saudi Arabia, and many Reading masajid do the same. Some masajid will follow local sightings or sightings from other countries further East, and sometimes declare the start of the new month for the following day.
