The first day of Jamadi-ul-Sani 1448 AH will fall on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Ministry of Religious Affairs said. The Jamadi-ul-Sani date in Pakistan was set after the moon of the month was not sighted anywhere in the country on Tuesday. Jamadi-ul-Sani is the sixth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon.

What the ministry said

The ministry made the announcement in light of a decision by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, the body that handles moon sighting for the country. Under that decision, the new Islamic month will begin on Thursday. The start date follows the failure to see the moon on Tuesday, so the ministry's statement links the two events directly.

What readers should note

The ministry's announcement gives Thursday, November 12, 2026, as the first day of the month. Readers who follow the Islamic calendar for prayers, fasting or personal planning can use this date as their reference point. The Jamadi-ul-Sani date in Pakistan is therefore fixed for the coming Thursday, once the moon was not seen on Tuesday.
