Arab Weather - The Arab and Islamic world will observe the crescent moon of Shaaban after sunset on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 AD, which will determine the date of observing the crescent moon of the holy month of Ramadan this year based on its results.

When will be the first day of Shaban 2024-1446?

Our astronomical calculations at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the central conjunction and the birth of the crescent (central new moon) will occur on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 12:36 UTC, God willing (3:36 PM Saudi time).

Arab weather experts believe that despite the birth of the crescent moon of the month of Shaaban astronomically before the start of the investigation process, seeing the crescent moon will be impossible, due to the moon setting before the sun in Saudi Arabia, according to the following details:

  • The moon will set in Riyadh at exactly 5:34 PM
  • While the sun will set in Riyadh at 5:36 PM

Accordingly, Friday, January 31, will be the first day of Sha’ban, and the crescent moon of Ramadan will be sighted on Friday, February 28, 2025, and God knows best.
