Key Points:
- Confusion Over Eidul Fitr Date: Recent reports suggested that the Pakistan Meteorological Department (Met Office) predicted the Eidul Fitr date, but the Met Office clarified that they don’t do this.
- Role of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee: The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is responsible for determining the start of Eid by observing the Shawwal moon. This is not the responsibility of the Met Office.
- Uncertainty About Eid Date: As of now, the exact date of Eidul Fitr is uncertain, but there’s a possibility of a five-day holiday based on government announcements.
- Different Approach in the UAE: Unlike Pakistan, the UAE uses a different method to decide Eid dates, relying on the sighting of the crescent moon.
- Conclusion: Despite the confusion, it’s important to remain patient and wait for the official announcement of Eidul Fitr. Let’s embrace the spirit of Ramadan while awaiting further clarity.
What You Need to Know
As Ramadan progresses, people are talking about when Eidul Fitr will happen. Some news said the Pakistan Meteorological Department (Met Office) predicted it, but that’s not true. Let’s clear up the confusion.
What’s Going On?
The Met Office said they didn’t predict Eidul Fitr’s date. They only do weather forecasts. Another group, the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, decides when Eid starts by looking at the moon.
How Does It Work?
The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee waits to see the Shawwal moon. When they spot it, they’ll say when Eid is. It’s not the job of the Met Office to do this.
What Does It Mean for You?
We’re not sure when Eidul Fitr will be yet. But the government said we might have a five-day holiday, so that’s something to look forward to!
Looking at UAE’s Situation
In the UAE, they have a different way to decide when Eid starts. They saw the crescent moon on March 10. Depending on how long Ramadan lasts, they might get a long holiday too.
Conclusion: Don’t Worry, Stay Patient
Even though there’s some confusion, remember that Eidul Fitr will come when it’s time. Let’s enjoy Ramadan and wait for the official announcement.
