Shaban Moon Sighting-Shab e Barat on February 14

-

Shaban, the 8th month of the Islamic calendar, holds great importance as it precedes the holiest month of Ramadan and includes the observance of Shab-e-Barat, a night of deep significance for Muslims. The Climate Data Processing Centre has shared predictions for the sighting of the Shaban moon in Pakistan.

According to the Centre, the birth of the Shaban moon will occur on January 29 at 5:36 pm, with the moon expected to be visible on January 30, Thursday.

If the moon is sighted, the first of Shaban will be observed on January 31, and Shab-e-Barat will follow on February 14.

While some areas are expected to have clear skies, others may experience clouds during the moon sighting. The Centre noted that at sunset, the moon’s age will be 25 hours and 4 minutes, and it is expected to be visible for about 57 minutes after sunset.

For the moon to be visible, it must be at least 19 hours old. Shab-e-Barat, observed on the 15th night of Shaban, is a time for Muslims to engage in worship, charity, fasting, and visiting the graves of loved ones to seek forgiveness for the deceased.
