The National Moon Sighting Committee of Bangladesh announced on Saturday that the moon for the Islamic month of Zilkad, 1447 Hijri, was not sighted anywhere in the country. As a result, the month of Shawwal will complete 30 days on Sunday, and the counting of Zilkad will begin on Monday. The decision was made during a meeting held at the Baitul Mukarram office of the Islamic Foundation in Dhaka, chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Munshi Alauddin Al Azad.
The committee reached its conclusion after reviewing reports from all district administrations, the Islamic Foundation’s headquarters and regional offices, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, and the Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization (SPARRSO). Senior officials and religious scholars, including the Director General of the Islamic Foundation, A. Salam Khan, and the Khatib of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, Mufti Abdul Malek, attended the meeting.
The announcement formally sets the beginning of Zilkad in Bangladesh’s Islamic calendar, aligning national observances with the lunar cycle confirmed by the committee.
