The moon of Rajab, one of the four sacred months in Islam, has been sighted in Pakistan, marking the beginning of the holy month across the country. With the moon sighting confirmed, the 1st of Rajab will be observed from tonight, ushering in a period of increased spirituality, reflection, and worship for Muslims.
Rajab holds great religious significance as a month of mercy and preparation for the holy months of Shaban and Ramadan. Many believers engage in voluntary fasting, special prayers, and supplications, seeking forgiveness and blessings.
Mosques across Pakistan are expected to host increased religious gatherings, while scholars have urged Muslims to use this sacred time for self-reflection, charity, and strengthening faith.
The sighting of the Rajab moon has been met with heartfelt prayers and messages across social media, as Muslims welcome the month with hope, devotion, and gratitude.
