ISLAMABAD: The moon for the holy month for Ramadan was sighted on Saturday in Pakistan, with the first fast to be observed on Sunday.
As Ramadan begins, people are gearing up for a month of spiritual growth, self-reflection, and communal bonding.
Millions of Muslims across the country will fast from dawn to dusk, engage in spiritual reflection, and perform charitable acts 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 arrangements for breaking the fast.
Traffic and security arrangements have also been made to ensure smooth traffic flow, 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 should be noted that the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee had announced a day ago that the moon of Ramadan had not been sighted and the first fast would be on Sunday (March 2).
Addressing a press conference after the meeting in Peshawar, Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad had said that no evidence of moon sighting had been received from across the country.
