As we all know, the Ruet-E-Hilal committee collects at the end of Ramazan to hopefully sight the much-awaited Eid ka chaand. Now, over the years, this act itself has stirred the pot multiple times because of the various amounts of Eids Pakistan has had in its various regions. However, this isn’t just a local issue. Dunya bhar main bhi yehi chakkar hai.
Which brings us to these men – the Ruet-E-Hilal Committee – arguably the most powerful men this one day out of the entire year.

Now, while people are waiting on the committee to announce ke kal BHI roza hai ya nahi – uh… I mean… kal Eid hai ya nahi, the impatience and anticipation has translated into some really funny tweets. Let’s dive right in:
1. Can’t even deny this. It’s 100% true.
#EidulFitr
Man of the Hour
King of The day
Mufti Muneeb’s day …#EidulFitr Moon 🌙 🤔🤔🤔

2. Then there’s this…
Mufti sahib is the most relevant and highly sought human in today's date. Please show us the moon with your magic vision sir. Humanity needs you😀🌙
— Faisal Saddam (@theFaisalSaddam) June 14, 2018
3. …and its variant. Lol?
Mufti #Popalzai is the most relevant and highly sought human in today's date. Please show us the moon with your magic vision sir. Humanity needs you.

4. I mean… he’s got a point. But we do it out of love, right?
Right?!
It seems like Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman is not in a mood to sight the Eid moon, therefore comrades get ready for bombarding him with memes or trend for eid. It must be eid tomorrow.

5. Aisa toh mat bolo.
As long as Mufti Muneeb is in chair; moon will keep deceiving us.
— Fayyaz Gul (@fayyazgul) June 14, 2018
6. True that.
well few things dont change in Pakistan. one of them is man who hunts the moon mufti muneeb he is ever lasting. #EidulFitr
— Waqar Ahmed (@thewaqar04) June 14, 2018
7. LOL, the only team Pakistanis will ever want to support the day before Eid.
It is Russia v. Saudi Arabia today (FIFA World Cup).
And the team I am supporting today is Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Pakistan.#Kashmir#WorldCup

14. Actually, yaar. Khwari toh mat karwao.
what if a girl puts on mehdi for tomorrow. And there is no eid tomorrow.
It would be a Mufti Trolled. 💯😂#EidAlFitr #moon— Mohammad Hadi (@HadiHardy110) June 14, 2018
15. If only this were true.
The moon stays away from Mufti Muneeb like money stays away from me. Let go brother, the moon will come to you itself https://t.co/SsNQuu7Xsz

16. This reminds me of my Pak Studies paper and now I feel personally attacked.
Will we ever see someone else head the Moon sighting committee other than Mufti Muneeb? Discuss. (10 Marks)
— Annas. (@anchoomanchoo) June 14, 2018
17. He gets what he can, I suppose.
Mufti Muneeb seems to drag his 2 seconds of fame/year forever..
Its well past the time frame to view the moon. Kal halwa kha le ab— Ramsha (@_cannonballs) June 14, 2018
18. LOL. Someone really doesn’t want to keep a roza tomorrow.
Hang in there guys
