Federal Minister for Science and Technology, Fawad Hussain Chaudhry, has launched Pakistan’s first official moon-sighting website and Islamic calendar.
The launch ceremony took place at Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) on Sunday. Addressing a press conference, the minister announced that according to the lunar calendar, Eid-ul-Fitr 2019 will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 5, while Eid-ul-Azha will fall on August 12.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Science and Technology has launched a mobile app to share real-time information about the moon few days after the launch of Pakistan’s first official moon-sighting website. The app unveiled ahead of Eid Al Fitr is called “The Ruet”. It combines Islamic Hijri calendar with modern technology, facilitating Pakistanis to learn about the beginning of new Islamic month with a single tap.
