Ramazan Mubarak: Celebs send warm wishes

Sajal Aly, Sonam Kapoor, Ali Kazmi and others took to social media to extend heartfelt messages

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee on Thursday announced that the holy month of Ramazan would begin from Saturday (tomorrow) as the moon had not been sighted in the country.

“No acceptable and Shariah-compliant testimonies were received from any part of the country,” Mufti Muneebur Rehman, the chairman of the committee, said after a meeting of the body held at the Met Office in Karachi to sight the moon. “Therefore, the first Ramazan will be on Saturday, April 25.”

Wishing a blessed Ramadan to Muslims observing the month at home this year. By coming together virtually, we’ll be able to stay connected and still honour the values at the heart of Islam - compassion, peace, and service to others. Ramadan Mubarak! https://t.co/sJg0aRUP0a pic.twitter.com/Bl2ESHvICH
