The moon marking the start of Ramadan 1446 Hijri has been sighted in Pakistan, signaling the end of the month of Sha’ban after 30 days. With the announcement of Ramadan, mosques across the country are preparing for special Taraweeh prayers, which will take place after the Isha prayer. Worshippers are also getting ready for the first pre-dawn meal, known as Sehri, to begin their first fast.
The first fast of Ramadan will be observed across Pakistan on Sunday. Muslims throughout the country are eagerly embracing the arrival of this holy month, a time for fasting, prayer, and reflection. Families are preparing traditional meals for Sehri and Iftar, while mosques and communities are organizing charitable activities to help those in need.
In the meantime, several other countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the United States, and Germany, started fasting a day earlier, as they sighted the moon before Pakistan. Many Muslims around the world are now united in observing the month of Ramadan, a time of spiritual renewal and community togetherness.
As the month progresses, Muslims will focus on prayer, charity, and self-discipline, cherishing the blessings and opportunities that Ramadan brings.
