In honor of Eid ul Fitr, the federal government has declared a four-day holiday that will begin on April 10.
The official notification on Wednesday stated that holidays from April 10 to April 13 have been granted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Given that the Shawwal moon is scheduled to be visible on April 9, the Met Office forecasted on Monday that the first day of Eid ul Fitr would fall on April 10.
The crescent will be born on April 8 at 11:21 p.m., according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), and it will be between 19 and 20 hours old the following day at Maghrib prayer.
It stated that the crescent may be seen for more than fifty minutes at sunset.
According to the PMD, on April 9, the sky will be clear across most of the nation. It did, however, note that there might be clouds in the sky in northern regions.
In Pakistan, on March 11, the crescent for the holy month of Ramadan was visible, and the first day of the month was marked the following day. Therefore, if the PMD’s prediction comes to pass, Pakistanis would observe a 29-day fast.
Muslims celebrate Eid ul Fitr worldwide following the end of Ramadan and the start of Shawwal. Following the Islamic month of Ramadan, which encourages charity and welfare while teaching patience and self-control, is the joyous and festive celebration known as Eid.
