Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH), one of the most significant occasions in the Islamic calendar, will be observed in Pakistan on September 6 this year after the Rabi-ul-Awwal moon was not sighted. This marks the beginning of the holy month that holds deep spiritual meaning for Muslims worldwide.
The announcement came after the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirmed that the Rabi-ul-Awwal moon was not visible across the country. As a result, the 1st of Rabi-ul-Awwal will fall on August 24, making the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH), on September 6.
