Islamabad: The Central Committee Ruet-E-Hilal, together with the Zonal Committees, will be convened on Sunday night, March 30, 2025 (corresponding to Ramazan 29, 1446 AH), to see the Shawwal moon, marking the potential end of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The Ruet-E-Hilal Central Committee meeting will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interreligious Harmony.
Religious academics, meteorological experts and other interested parties deliberate in the moon sighting reports throughout the country during the session to determine the date of EID-UM-FIT celebrations throughout Pakistan.
The beginning of the ninth and most sacred month in the Muslim calendar, as well as the Eid holidays and the month of mourning of Muharram, is determined by the sighting of the new moon.
Last month, the space research commission and the upper atmosphere of Pakistan (Supparco) predicted the visibility of the Llosses of Ramadán and Shawwal using scientific evaluations, astronomical calculations and modern observation data.
According to astronomical models, Shawwal’s moon will be visible on March 30, indicating that Eid-ul-Fitr will probably fall into Pakistan on March 31, 2025.
Since the observation without the help of the growing moon is a religious obligation to determine the beginning of the Holy Month, the Central Committee Ruet-E-Hilal will examine testimonies from all over the country and formally announce the official beginning of this year’s Ramadan.
