The Pakistan Astronomical Committee has confirmed that the moon for the Islamic month of Rabi-us-Sani was not sighted in the country. The committee stated that the new moon will be visible on Monday, September 14, marking the start of the month. This decision comes after local observers failed to spot the moon, which is traditionally used to determine the beginning of Islamic months. The committee's ruling is based on scientific calculations and observations, as per Islamic lunar calendar practices. The absence of the moon has led to discussions among religious scholars about the implications for the start of the month.
