The Islamic day starts at maghrib
In Islamic reckoning a new day begins at sunset, not midnight. So after maghrib this evening it is already the night of Wednesday (Budh ki raat) and the Hijri date becomes 16 Jumada al-Awwal 1448. That is why Shab-e-Juma (the night of Friday) is Thursday evening. Sunset times for Pakistani cities are on Islamic date today in Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad.
