Pakistan: When Does Islamic New Year 2023 Begin in Muharram?

The Islamic world is preparing to welcome the new year, as the year 1445 approaches. With the advent of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, a sense of excitement and anticipation fills the air.

Moon Sighting and the Significance of Muharram

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Office, there is a possibility of sighting the Muharram moon on July 18. This celestial event holds great importance as it determines the observance of Youm-e-Ashura, the day of mourning, which is expected to fall on July 28.

Observing the Moon and the Islamic Year

A circular issued by the Met Office has revealed that the new moon of Muharram is expected to appear on July 17. However, due to cloudy or partly cloudy weather in most parts of the country, the chances of moon sighting are relatively low. It is estimated that the Muharram moon will remain visible for approximately 46 minutes.

In the upcoming days, the esteemed moon sighting committee of the country will convene to diligently observe the Muharram moon. The Islamic year follows a lunar calendar, consisting of either 354 or 355 days. Notably, the first day of the Islamic year is a public holiday in several countries.
