PBM MD’s Eid with flood-victims
Islamabad
Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM) Managing Director Zamurrud Khan will celebrate Eidul Fitr with the flood- victims in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, says a press release on Thursday. Zamurrud Khan will distribute gifts and relief goods worth three million rupees among the flood-hit people.
‘Jumatul Wida’ observed with zeal
Islamabad: The faithful observed another ‘Jumatul Wida’, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramazan, with traditional religious zeal and reverence. This year, confusion prevailed over the observance of ‘Jumatul Wida’ as last Friday of the holy month was likely to coincide with last fasting day (30th of Ramazan) of the month. The people had observed ‘Jumatul Wida’ with a usual spiritual fervour on Sept 3 so that the opportunity could not be missed if the Eidul Fitr moon was sighted on Sept 9 (29th of Ramazan). With not appearance of the new crescent on Thursday, the faithful got another day to invoke Allah Almighty’s special blessings and opportunity to observe ‘Jumatul Wida’ again.
