Ramzan to start on Friday in KP: Mufti Popalzai

PESHAWAR: Hours after state’s central moon sighting committee (Ruet-e-Halal Committee) Chairman Mufti Muneeb announced that no crescent sighting was observed from any part of the country and Ramzan will start on Saturday. However, Peshawar-based cleric Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai has once again contest the claim, announcing that the holy month of Ramzan will start on Friday.

Citizens in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province will observe the first Ramazan-ul-Mubarak tomorrow (Friday), according to an announcement by Peshawar’s Masjid Qasim Ali Khan.

The announcement by prayer leader of the mosque, Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai, was made after Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announced that the Ramazan moon was not sighted anywhere in the country on Thursday.

Prior to him, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, led by Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, announced that Ramazan moon was not sighted anywhere in the country, therefore, Saturday (April, 25) would be observed as the first of Ramazan.

Federal Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry had said earlier today that there’s no chance of the moon being sighted.

This is the first time a member of the ministry was present for the moon sighting and has been included in the committee.

Last year, Chaudhry’s ministry developed a lunar calendar to predict when the moon will be sighted. He caused a stir after saying that Pakistan’s future should not be left to maulvis (clerics).

  1. Generally I don’t read post on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thank you, very nice article.

  2. I believe that a home foreclosure can have a major effect on the debtor’s life. Home foreclosures can have a 8 to a decade negative affect on a debtor’s credit report. A borrower that has applied for a home loan or almost any loans for that matter, knows that the particular worse credit rating is usually, the more difficult it is to obtain a decent mortgage. In addition, it can affect the borrower’s ability to find a respectable place to let or hire, if that will become the alternative property solution. Great blog post.
