PESHAWAR: Pakistan\u2019s Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announced on Monday evening that the Ramadan moon has been sighted and the first of the holy month will fall on Tuesday (tomorrow).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement was made following a meeting of the central and zonal Ruet-e-Hilal committees for sighting the crescent of the Islamic month in Peshawar.<\/p>\n

The meeting of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal committee was chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad in Peshawar, while the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) zonal moon-sighting committee also met at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Meetings of other zonal committees were also held in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Quetta simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ramadan has already begun in several parts of the world, including the Middle East and Europe.<\/p>\n

Several other countries have already announced March 12 as the beginning of Ramadan, including Australia, Malaysia, Phili\u00adppines and Brunei.<\/p>\n

Oman, too, has announced that it will observe the beginning of Ramadan on March 12, as there was no sighting of the crescent moon on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, the month of fasting, is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.<\/p>\n

During the fast, Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking, gossiping and cursing, and are encouraged to focus on meditative practices like prayers, reading the Holy Quran and giving charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
