The first day of fasting will be on March 2nd since there is a strong likelihood that the Ramadan moon will be visible in Pakistan on March 1st.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) projected on Monday, suggesting that the new moon will most likely be born on the evening of February 28 at 5:45 pm.
Traditionally, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee would convene on Sha’ban 29 — with zonal committees meeting in their respective areas — to receive and evaluate moon sighting data and declare the moon’s sighting.
According to reports, countries in Gulf nations and European ones most likely will see the Ramadan moon on February 28.
In most countries, fasting during the first days of Ramadan is intended to last about 13 hours.
Furthermore, the actual day of Eid ul Fitr will rely on moon sighting, still it is expected to be March 30 or 31.
Significance of Ramadan
For Muslims all around, Ramadan—the ninth month of the Islamic calendar—is a holy time for fasting, introspection, and spiritual development.
Muslims fast from dawn to sunset this month, not eating or drinking. One of the five pillars of Islam, fasting is meant to help Muslims grow in self-discipline, empathy for people less fortunate, and closer relationship with Allah.
