Event Summary

The Pakistan — SUPARCO (Pakistan — SUPARCO) has predicted that Eid al-Adha is likely to be observed on May 27, 2026, in Pakistan. This forecast is based on astronomical calculations indicating that the new moon of Zilhajj 1447 AH is expected to be born on May 17 at 1:01am. Conditions for sighting the Zilhajj crescent on the evening of May 17 are considered favorable, with the moon's age around 18 hours and 30 minutes by sunset and a 60-minute gap between sunset and moonset along coastal areas. If the moon is sighted as expected, the first day of Zilhajj would be May 18. However, the final decision regarding the moon sighting and the start of the Islamic month rests with the Pakistan — Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which will make the official announcement after reviewing witness testimonies and reports from across Pakistan. This early prediction allows citizens, businesses, and transport services to begin preparations for the significant Islamic holiday.
