Pakistan is eagerly anticipating the sighting of the Shawwal moon, a crucial event that determines the start of Eid celebrations across the country. The Meteorological Department has provided insights into the possibilities of moon sighting in different regions, adding to the anticipation and excitement among the populace.
According to the Meteorological Department’s latest updates, the Shawwal moon was born last night, and today it enters a phase where its sighting becomes highly probable. This celestial event holds immense significance as it marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid festivities, a time of joy, unity, and spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide.
As the sun sets, the duration for spotting the moon will extend beyond 50 minutes, providing ample opportunity for the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and regional committees to observe and confirm the Shawwal moon’s appearance. Southern regions expected to have clear skies, optimizing the chances of a clear sighting, while northern areas may experience some cloud cover, which could affect visibility.
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s meeting, chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, scheduled for this evening in Islamabad. This gathering brings together experts from the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Meteorological Department, and space and technology authorities to verify moon sightings and officially announce the beginning of Shawwal.
The anticipation surrounding the Shawwal moon sighting in Pakistan reflects the deep-rooted cultural and religious values embedded in the society. As the nation awaits the official announcement, the spirit of Eid continues to resonate, bringing people closer in celebration and unity.
