Amidst vibrant celebrations and fervent prayers, the Dawoodi Bohra community in Karachi and other parts of the country marked the joyous occasion of Eidul Fitr today with profound spiritual significance.
Eidul Fitr prayers commenced at the Tahiri Masjid in Karachi's Saddar area.
While, strict security arrangements by the provincial government were made for the community, while the roads leading to the grand mosque were closed to ensure their safety.
As the Bohri faithful bowed in prayer, the anticipation of the Shawwal moon sighting lingered in the air. There remained a palpable sense of excitement as believers awaited confirmation of the auspicious sighting, indicative of the conclusion of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, in the global Islamic community, contrasting reports emerged regarding the Shawwal moon sighting. While Saudi Arabia announced the non-sighting of the crescent, signaling Eid-ul-Fitr for the following day, Pakistan brimmed with optimism, hopeful for the auspicious sighting within its borders.
