Ramadan moon sighting announcements have sparked anticipation and preparation across the Muslim world. While Saudi Arabia declared the sighting of the crescent moon, signaling the start of the holy month of Ramadan, Pakistan’s moon sighting body is scheduled to convene on Monday to undertake the same task.
In Saudi Arabia, the announcement of the Ramadan moon sighting came on Sunday, prompting the populace and communities across the Arab and Middle Eastern regions to prepare for the commencement of fasting rituals starting on Monday.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan, Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad is set to chair a crucial meeting of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee on Monday evening in Peshawar. The committee’s primary objective is to sight the crescent moon, determining the official start of Ramadan in the country.

Chairman Azad has urged all Pakistanis to actively participate in the moon sighting process, expressing his hope that the holy month will commence uniformly across the nation. The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s decision will hold significance for Muslims throughout Pakistan, as it will dictate the start date for fasting and other religious activities associated with Ramadan.
If the crescent moon is sighted during the committee’s meeting, Ramadan will officially begin in Pakistan on Tuesday, aligning with the broader Muslim world in observing this sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The anticipation leading up to this momentous occasion underscores the spiritual significance and communal unity fostered by the observance of Ramadan across diverse cultures and regions.
