This earlier than usual meeting, to determine the sighting of the moon of Zilhajj 1429, means that November 29 could be announced as the first day of the month of Zilhajj which would mean that the date of the Eid al-Adha (Eid uz Zuha) public holiday would be on December 8, 2008, a day before our current forecast, and 2 days before the date officially announced on the website of the Ministry of the Interior of Pakistan.
