The Meteorological Department has announced its prediction about the Shawwal moon and the expected date of Eid ul Fitr in Pakistan. According to officials, the Shawwal moon is unlikely to be visible on 19 March. However, there is a strong chance that the moon will be sighted on 20 March. If this happens, Eid ul Fitr will be celebrated on 21 March across the country.
This prediction has increased excitement among citizens who are waiting for the end of Ramadan. The holy month of Ramadan began in Pakistan on 19 February after the Ramadan moon was sighted on the 29th of Shaban. Muslims have been observing fasts, offering special prayers, and engaging in charity during this sacred month. The sighting of the Shawwal moon will mark the completion of Ramadan and the start of Eid celebrations.
The Meteorological Department makes moon sighting forecasts based on scientific research and weather analysis. Experts carefully examine the age of the moon, its position at sunset, and the clarity of the sky. These factors help them estimate whether the moon can be seen with the naked eye. While the final decision will be made by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, the weather department’s forecast provides an early guideline for the public.
