From the task description of T415960: Create Wikisource Urdu, it appears that the timezone Asia/Islamabad was requested for urwikisource. (It seems like this timezone may have been added to the language-request-page on metawiki in this edit.)
As (from what I can see) the timezone in Islamabad is the same as Asia/Karachi (which is listed at https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php), IMO it may be overly nitpicky not to set a custom timezone for this wiki just because the timezone provided isn't an exact IANA tz code.
What are other folks' thoughts? (cc @jhsoby in case you have any thoughts)
NP to add above mentioned timezone since change is trivial and community can request correct timezone as part of Wikimedia-Site-requests, I had left it as it is since other Urdu language wikiprojects uses default UTC timezone
I'd rather not set a timezone at this point; if the community, which has now had its own site for months, wants it they can file a request themselves.
Fair enough :) Happy to go with not setting one at this point for the reasons given (and fair point @Anoop about other Urdu projects' timezones).
