News Desk

LAHORE: Pakistan is set to observe Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month in the Islamic calendar, with potential start dates of February 8 or 9, 2027.

This significant period is marked by fasting and spiritual reflection for Muslims across the country and worldwide.

The announcement comes as religious authorities prepare for the sighting of the moon, which traditionally determines the beginning of Ramadan.

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, responsible for moon sighting in Pakistan, will convene to confirm the dates based on lunar observations.

The observance of Ramadan holds profound importance for the Muslim community, fostering a sense of unity and devotion.

It is a time for increased prayer, reflection, and community engagement, which can also impact local economies as businesses adapt to the altered daily routines of fasting.

As the dates approach, communities will begin preparations for the month, including planning for iftar meals and charitable activities.

The government and local organizations are expected to announce initiatives to support those in need during this sacred time.
