Crucial Shaban Moon Sighting Meeting Today
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is set to convene today for the crucial Shaban moon sighting of 1447 Hijri. This pivotal meeting will definitively establish the exact commencement date of Shaban, a profoundly significant month within the Islamic calendar. Furthermore, this gathering plays a vital role in ensuring nationwide alignment for religious observances.
Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khabir Azad will expertly preside over these important proceedings. During this dedicated session, the committee diligently reviews compelling moon sighting testimonies received from various regions across the country. Consequently, an official announcement regarding the precise beginning of Shaban will be made available to the public.
Expert Predictions for the Shaban Moon Sighting
Meanwhile, astronomical experts provide invaluable insights into the lunar cycle. For instance, Professor Dr. Faheem, a highly regarded astronomy expert, has predicted that the initial day of Shaban is highly likely to occur on January 21. Conversely, he unequivocally stated that no possibility of a moon sighting exists on January 19, given current calculations.
Pakistan’s esteemed national space agency, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), substantially corroborates these expert findings. They have also strongly indicated that the first day of Shaban 1447 Hijri is anticipated to fall precisely on January 21, 2026. This independent scientific assessment offers additional, robust validation.
The Final Decision Process
A spokesperson from SUPARCO further elucidated the precise scientific rationale underpinning their detailed prediction. Specifically, the new moon for Shaban 1447 Hijri is astronomically projected to be born on January 19 at 12:52 a.m. local time. This precise astronomical event remains absolutely crucial for accurately calculating the subsequent lunar calendar dates.
Ultimately, notwithstanding the compelling expert predictions, the definitive final decision resides with the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. They will diligently announce the official commencement date of Shaban only after meticulously evaluating all received testimonies. This traditional and revered process meticulously upholds long-standing Islamic principles and national consensus.
