Afghanistan first Muslim country to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr Today
KABUL, March 19: Afghanistan has announced that it will celebrate its Eid-ul-Fitr on Thursday, becoming the first country to mark the end of Ramadan at least one day ahead of the Islamic calendar.
The announcement by Afghanistan was made after local religious authorities confirmed the sighting of the Shawwal moon, the start of the festive occasion.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a time of joy, prayer, and community gatherings, when Muslims break their month-long fast and express gratitude. Across Afghanistan, families are preparing for special prayers, charity donations, and traditional feasts.
Other Muslim countries have also given their official statements, informing their Muslim citizens about tomorrow.
Tukrey, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have announced their Eid on Friday as the Shawwal moon was being sighted across their countries today.
Pakistan Ruet Hilal Committee members will also meet tomorrow evening and will look forward to seeing witnesses from across Pakistan. If evident witnesses were brought, the federal government will also announce the Eid-ul-Fitr on Friday. (HUM ENGLISH)
