Islamabad, March 30, 2025 – A wave of joy swept across Pakistan as the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirmed the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon on Sunday evening, heralding the celebration of Eidul Fitr on Monday, March 31. The announcement, made by Committee Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, marked the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and unity for millions of Muslims nationwide.
The moon sighting meeting, held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony in Islamabad, brought together religious scholars, meteorological experts, and representatives from the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO). Reports of the crescent’s visibility poured in from cities like Lahore, Karachi, Sheikhupura, and Gujranwala, painting a vivid picture of a nation united under the same celestial sign. “The testimonies were clear and credible,” Maulana Azad declared, his voice resonating with festive anticipation. “Tomorrow, we embrace Eid with open hearts.”
SUPARCO had earlier predicted the moon’s visibility, noting that by sunset on March 30, the crescent would be approximately 27 hours old—prime for naked-eye observation. The agency’s forecast aligned seamlessly with the traditional sightings, bridging science and faith in a harmonious crescendo. As the news spread, streets buzzed with last-minute preparations: families adorned homes with lights, children flaunted new clothes, and the aroma of sweet delicacies filled the air.
This year’s Eidul Fitr promises a three-day celebration, with the government declaring holidays from March 31 to April 2. Markets thrived with activity as people exchanged gifts and shared greetings of “Eid Mubarak.” Amid the festivities, Maulana Azad urged the nation to remember the less fortunate, emphasizing charity as a cornerstone of the occasion. As Pakistan welcomes Eid, the Shawwal moon stands as a symbol of renewal, unity, and gratitude, illuminating the dawn of a cherished festival.Eidul Fitr Dawns on Monday as Shawwal Moon Graces Pakistan’s Skies
