The moon for the holy month for Ramadan was sighted on Saturday in Pakistan, with the first fast to be observed on Sunday.
With the commencement of Ramadan, people are gearing up for a month of spiritual growth, self-reflection, and community bonding.
Millions of Muslims across the country will observe dawn-to-dusk fasts, engage in spiritual reflection, and perform acts of charity during the blessed month.
Markets are bustling with shoppers buying dates, fruits, and other essentials, while mosques are being decorated and cleaned in preparation for the holy month.
The government has announced special arrangements for Ramadan, including reduced working hours and special Iftar arrangements.
Traffic and security arrangements have also been put in place to ensure smooth flow of traffic, while special Ramadan bazaars have been set up across the country.
Health experts have advised people to take extra precautions during Ramadan, stressing the importance of staying hydrated and eating healthily.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, a day earlier, had announced that the Ramadan moon was not sighted, and the first fast would fall on Sunday (March 2).
Addressing a press conference after the meeting in Peshawar, Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad had said no testimony was received about the moon’s sighting from across the country.
