Akheri Chahar Shamba to be observed on 15 Nov

The holy Akheri Chahar Shamba will be observed across the country on 15 November (Wednesday) marking the recovery of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (SM) from prolonged illness.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the national moon-sighting committee at the conference room of the Islamic Foundation, Baitul Mukarram Friday evening with secretary of the religious affairs ministry Md Anisur Rahman in the chair.

As the new moon was not sighted on the sky of the country on Friday, so the holy month of Safar will begin from 22 October and the holy Akheri Chahar Shamba will be observed on 25th of Safar or 15 November, said a foundation release.
