Tomorrow Islamic date in Pakistan will be 22 Shawwal 1446. The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, where each month has 29 or 30 days, depending on the moon sighting. Since the new day starts at sunset (Maghrib) instead of midnight, the date changes in the evening.
In Islam, the new day begins at sunset (Maghrib) rather than at midnight. This is because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar system, meaning time is measured based on the cycles of the moon. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, where a new day starts at 12:00 AM, the Islamic day begins when the sun sets.
This system comes from Islamic tradition and historical practices. In Islamic teachings, the night is considered part of the following day. For example, when the sun sets, Muslims start preparing for the next day's religious obligations, such as prayers and fasting. This method of timekeeping helps in determining important events like Ramadan, Eid, and Islamic months.
