Hilal Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 birth date set for August 14, 2026
The astronomical calculations have announced that the crescent of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal in the year 1448 AH will be born immediately after the conjunction of the sun and the moon at 8:38 PM local time in Egypt on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, which is the potential sighting day. However, the conjunction will occur after sunset in most Arab and Islamic regions, so the new moon will not be visible at sunset that day. Based on this, the first day of Rabi' al-Awwal is expected to be Friday, August 14, 2026, astronomically. Nonetheless, the official announcement depends on the results of the Islamic moon sighting. The times of moonset vary depending on geographic location, with differences of a few minutes between cities, affecting the ability to see the new moon and thereby determine the start of the lunar month. The reasons for these differences are related to the timing of the conjunction and the moon's position relative to the horizon, as these factors influence the beginning of the Islamic month according to sighting-based criteria.
