Central Ruet e Hilal Committee Announces Safar 1446 Hijri Start

The sighting of the moon is a significant event in the Islamic calendar, as it marks the beginning of a new month. In Islam, the lunar calendar is used to determine important dates and events, including religious observances. The Central Ruet e Hilal Committee plays a vital role in this process by officially announcing the sighting of the moon each month. This ensures that Muslims across Pakistan can accurately observe their religious duties.

Recently, the Central Ruet e Hilal Committee convened to look for the moon that would signal the start of Safar 1446 Hijri. After thorough discussions and consultations with experts from the Meteorology Department and SPARCO, the committee announced that the moon was not sighted anywhere in Pakistan. This decision was made after careful consideration and is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the Islamic calendar.

As a result of this announcement, the Ministry of Religious Affairs confirmed that tomorrow, August 6, will be the 30th day of Muharram. Consequently, the first day of Safar 1446 Hijri will commence on Wednesday, August 7. This information is essential for Muslims, as it helps them plan their religious activities and observances accordingly.

The Ruet Hilal Committee's decision is not just a formality; it has real implications for the lives of millions of Muslims in Pakistan. Accurate moon sighting ensures that religious dates are observed correctly, allowing the community to come together in prayer and celebration. It is a reminder of the importance of unity and shared beliefs among Muslims.

The announcement by the Central Ruet e Hilal Committee regarding the moon sighting is a significant event for the Islamic community in Pakistan. As we prepare to welcome Safar 1446 Hijri on August 7, it is essential for everyone to stay informed about these developments. Understanding the lunar calendar helps Muslims fulfill their religious obligations and strengthens their connection to their faith.
