PESHAWAR: The first day of Ramadan will fall on Tuesday (tomorrow), according to a statement made by Pakistan’s Ruet-e-Hilal Committee on Monday evening. The Ramadan moon has been sighted. The Ruet-e-Hilal committees for Peshawar’s central and zonal sightings of the Islamic month’s crescent met and decided to make the announcement shortly after. Both the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) zonal moon-sighting committee and the Central Ruet-e-Hilal committee convened in Peshawar, under the direction of Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad.
Other zone committee meetings were concurrently conducted in Quetta, Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. In the meantime, numerous regions of the world, including the Middle East and Europe, have already entered Ramadan. Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, and several other nations have already declared March 12 to be the start of Ramadan. Oman has also declared that it will observe the first day of Ramadan on March 12 in light of the moon’s absence on Sunday night.
The Islamic lunar calendar’s ninth month is known as Ramadan-ul-Mubarak or the month of fasts. To focus on meditation acts like prayers, reading the Holy Quran, and charitable giving, Muslims are advised to refrain from eating, drinking, gossiping, and swearing during the fast.
