KARACHI: Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated across Pakistan with religious zeal and fervour, with sweetmeats and savouries, but this year doubly special as the country is celebrating Eid along with the rest of the muslim world after a very long time.
While the meteorological department had confirmed that the moon would be visible 45 minutes after sunset; an initial confusion over at the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee kept the country in suspense till after Isha. In many mosques Taraweeh prayers had begun and had to be stopped.
The day began with Eid prayers being offered at mosques and Eidgahs in all cities and towns of the country. Special prayers were offered for the well-being of the country while in sermons the Ulema highlighted the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Eid congregations in Karachi began from 6 AM with similar congregations held across the country.
