      <title>SUPARCO forecasts Rabi-ul-Awwal moon sighting for 1447AH</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330430145/suparco-forecasts-rabi-ul-awwal-moon-sighting-for-1447ah</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has issued its forecast for the sighting of the Rabi-ul-Awwal moon for the Islamic year 1447 AH.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the report, the new moon is anticipated to be born on August 23 at 11:06am.
By the evening of August 24, it will be over 32 hours old, making it visible under favorable conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on this prediction, the first day of Rabi-ul-Awwal is likely to be August 25, with the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal expected to fall on Friday, September 5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following day, September 6, is Defense Day, a national observance dedicated to honoring the sacrifices made by Pakistan’s armed forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although not officially designated as a public holiday, the government may consider declaring one this year following Pakistan’s recent victory against India in the May conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
