See lessAstronomical predictions indicate that the new moon will be born on June 25, 2025, in the afternoon. By the evening of June 26, the moon will be sufficiently old (around 28 hours and 15 minutes) to be visible under favorable weather conditions, particularly in regions like South Asia and the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia.
If the moon is sighted as expected on June 26, then the first day of Muharram (Islamic New Year 1447 AH) will be Friday, June 27, 2025.
It’s important to remember that the exact beginning of Islamic months is always subject to the actual sighting of the crescent moon by local religious authorities.
