Sightings of the Ramadan Crescent have been confirmed in Pakistan, marking the beginning of the holy month from Thursday 23rd March.
The announcement was made by Ruet-e-Hilal Central Committee Chairman Moulana Syed Muhammad Abdul Khabeer Azad, who confirmed that the moon was seen in different parts of the country.
The sighting was confirmed after multiple witnesses reported seeing the crescent moon after Wednesday night. The observation was later confirmed by the committee responsible for determining the beginning of the Islamic months.
Ramadan is considered one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast, pray and perform charitable deeds from sunrise to sunset. It is a time of spiritual reflection, self-discipline and increasing devotion to Allah.
The start of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the crescent moon, which can vary depending on location and weather conditions.
Muslims across Pakistan are now preparing for the start of Ramadan, with much shopping for food and supplies. It is also a time of joy, celebration and spiritual renewal for millions of Muslims around the world.
