ISLAMABAD: The Islamic month of Shaban is likely to begin in Pakistan on the evening of February 17, depending on the sighting of the moon.
According to astronomical calculations, the full moon is likely to be visible in most parts of the country on this date.
Shaban is the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and holds great significance for Muslims, as it precedes the holy month of Ramadan.
Authorities will announce the official start of Shaban after the moon is sighted, with religious leaders and organizations closely monitoring the lunar cycle.
