Eid ul Azha to be observed in Pakistan on May 27 following Zil Hajj moon sighting announced by Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which met in Karachi, has announced that the Zil Hajj moon was sighted on Sunday. This means Eid ul Azha will be celebrated in Pakistan on May 27, according to an official statement issued by the committee. The announcement follows a meeting where religious scholars and officials discussed astronomical observations leading up to the sighting of the new moon.
This marks the first time since April that the Zil Hajj moon has been sighted, setting the calendar for Eid ul Azha celebrations in Pakistan. Eid ul Azha is one of the two major Islamic holidays, celebrated annually to commemorate Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The festival brings families together and emphasizes themes of unity, compassion, and gratitude.
The timing of Eid ul Azha this year coincides with a significant religious observance in Pakistan, underscoring its importance within the country’s cultural and spiritual landscape. As Eid approaches, preparations for communal prayers, feasts, and family gatherings are already underway across the nation, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions surrounding this holy occasion.
