The Islamic date today in Pakistan, as per the lunar-based calendar, is 09 Shaban 1446. This date is calculated according to the Hijri calendar and corresponds to February 8, 2025, on the Gregorian calendar.
Understanding the Islamic Calendar
The Islamic calendar consists of 12 lunar months in a year, which totals around 354 or 355 days. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is solar-based, the Islamic calendar follows the cycles of the moon. This is why the Islamic date changes after sunset each day based on the moon’s sighting.
Importance of the Islamic Date
In Pakistan, which has a large Muslim population, knowing the exact Islamic date is important for preparing for key events such as Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, and other significant religious observances. The moon sighting, or Chand ki date, is crucial in determining the start of each month, especially during special months like Ramadan.
The Month of Rajab
The Islamic month of Rajab, the seventh month of the Islamic calendar, began on January 2, 2025, and ended on January 31, 2025, based on the moon’s visibility. Rajab holds special significance in Islamic history. It is a month filled with spirituality, marked by significant events like Isra and Miraj — the night when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to the seven heavens, during which the five daily prayers were ordained for Muslims.
Rajab also holds the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (RA), the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who is revered as a defender of justice and a symbol of spiritual leadership in Islam.
Significance of Rajab
Rajab is a month for Muslims to reflect on their spiritual practices, including increased prayer, charity, and devotion. It serves as a reminder for Muslims to strengthen their relationship with Allah (SWT) and to focus on love, peace, and submission to the divine.
