Why Saudi and Pakistan dates differ
Saudi Arabia follows the Umm al-Qura calendar, which is calculated in advance. Pakistan and India start each month after a local moon sighting, so their Islamic date is often one or two days behind. That is why we show both dates together.

Often yes. Pakistan begins months after a local moon sighting, so the date is usually one or two days behind Saudi Arabia.
