Muslims in Pakistan are almost approaching the end of the Islamic month ofShaban and the sacred month of Ramadan is being looked at with much expectancy. Only a few weeks remain to the blessed month as the present time is the beginning of February 2026.
That is all you require about the dates of the first fast, Eid-ul-Fitr and the meaning of the succeeding weeks.
When Will Ramadan 2026 Start in Pakistan?
The official and last announcement will however be made by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee who will decide on the beginning of the holy month after taking testimony of the moon sighting in the whole country. As usual, the approved date is based on the decision of the committee after the customary sighting in Pakistan.
When Will Ramadan 2026 End?
Ramadan is a holy month which lasts 29 or 30 days depending on the observation of Shawwal moon. Based on the current estimates, Ramadan in Pakistan is supposed to end in the evening of March 18 or March 19, 2026. Thus, most probably Eid-ul-Fitr 2026 will be marked in Pakistan on Friday, March 20, or Saturday, March 21, 2026. The last days will be as usual formally determined by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee based on the moon sighting reports all over the nation.
