ISLAMABAD (The Post): The Shawwal moon was observed in Lahore, Islamabad, and other areas of the nation on Sunday, prompting the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee to declare that Eidul Fitr will fall on Monday (today).

While zonal and district Ruet-i-Hilal committee meetings were held concurrently at their respective headquarters, the announcement followed a meeting of the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee in Islamabad.

Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad presided over the meeting, which was attended by the Ruet-i-Hilal Committee members and representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Suparco, and the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

Following the meeting, Maulana Khabir Azad told a news conference that Eid will be celebrated tomorrow (Monday) because most of the country had testimony of seeing the moon.

The Ramazan and Shawwal crescents’ visibility was predicted by the Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) last month based on scientific evaluations, astronomical computations, and current observational data.

Following the conclusion of Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, Muslims celebrate Eidul Fitr.

The appearance of the new moon marks the start of the ninth and holiest month in the Muslim calendar, along with the Eid celebrations and the month of Muharram, which is a time of sorrow.
