The moon for Rabi-us-Sani has not been sighted in Pakistan today (Saturday). Hence, the first day of Rabi-us-Sani 1448 AH is expected to be tomorrow.
Earlier, Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) said that the moon would be about 34 hours and 33 minutes old by sunset on September 12.
The final decision regarding the sighting of the crescent and the commencement of the holy month will be made by the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee of the country
Rabi-us-Sani is the fourth month of the Islamic calendar, which literally translates to “The Second Spring.”
Eid-i-Miladun Nabi was observed on August 26 in Pakistan. Muslims around the world celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), known in Arabic as the Mawlid al-Nabawi holiday, on the 12th of Rabiul Awwal.
Arrangements for processions, gatherings and other religious events were made especially for the occasion.
SUPARCO was established as a space research committee, making it one of the earliest space programmes in Asia. It was upgraded to a full federal commission in 1981. SUPARCO operates communication satellites, such as PakSat-1R and PakSat-MM1, as well as Earth-observation remote-sensing satellites, including PRSS-1.
