Pakistan is on the brink of Eid-ul-Fitr 2024 celebrations as the nation eagerly awaits the possible sighting of the Shawwal moon, marking the end of Ramadan. Led by Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, the central sighting committee is set to convene, joined by representatives from across the country who will contribute testimonies on moon sightings. The committee meeting will also witness the participation of officials from the Meteorological Department, SPARCO, and Science and Technology sectors.
Simultaneously, Zonal Sighting of the Crescent Committees will gather at designated locations nationwide for observation. Timing is critical, with the moon needing to be at least 19 hours old for visibility. The Meteorological Department forecasts the moon to be 19 hours and 54 minutes old at sunset, providing a brief window for sighting, which may last up to 50 minutes post-sunset.
Ultimately, the official declaration on the moon’s sighting and the commencement of Eid-ul-Fitr festivities will be made by Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad. This announcement holds immense significance, as it heralds the start of celebrations for Muslims across Pakistan. The process of moon sighting underscores meticulous observation and coordination among various committees and departments, reflecting the importance of religious observances in Pakistani society.
As anticipation builds, the unity and coordination among officials and committees highlight the collective eagerness and reverence for this auspicious occasion. Pakistan stands poised to embrace the joyous festivities of Eid-ul-Fitr upon the sighting of the Shawwal moon.
