As the crescent moon sighting for the holy month of Ramadan approaches, all eyes are on the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Pakistan. Today, the committee is set to convene to determine the official start of Ramadan, with the possibility of announcing the first day of fasting, or 1st Roza.
Muslims across the nation are eagerly awaiting the committee’s decision, which will mark the beginning of a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The sighting of the moon holds significant cultural and religious importance in determining the start of Ramadan.
If the moon is sighted, it will signal the commencement of fasting from dawn to sunset for millions of Muslims in Pakistan. The announcement is expected later today, and mosques and communities are gearing up to start observing Tarawih prayers and other Ramadan rituals.
This year, the global Muslim community is also celebrating the first day of fasting in various countries, including Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and more.
Stay tuned for the official announcement from the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, bringing clarity on when the 1st Roza will be observed across Pakistan. The anticipation is high as Muslims eagerly prepare for the spiritual journey that Ramadan brings.
