Eid-ul-Fitr 2026: With the holy month of Ramadan in its last week, Muslims across the world have begun preparations for Eid-ul-Fitr 2026, one of the holiest festivals in the Islamic lunar calendar, celebrated after the end of Ramadan, on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal.
However, akin to other Islamic festival, the exact date of Eid varies according to the lunar calendar in which a month is either 29 or 30 days, making it difficult to predict the beginning of the new month, which is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon.
While the exact date of Eid-ul-Fitr is difficult to predict due to the unpredictability in the appearance of the crescent moon which marks the end of a lunar month, the Astronomy Center has forecast moon sighting in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Dubai and other Gulf states on March 18.
