Egypt’s Dar Al-Iftaa reveals the scientific and religious details confirming the start of Jumada al-Awwal 1447 AH after precise lunar observations.
Dar Al-Iftaa has announced that Thursday, October 23, 2025, marks the beginning of Jumada al-Awwal 1447 AH, following official verification of the crescent moon’s sighting and alignment with astronomical calculations.
The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics clarified that the new crescent was born at 3:26 PM Cairo time on Tuesday, October 21, confirming the synchronization between scientific data and the religious sighting.
It was noted that the moon was not visible in several Asian countries at sunset, while in Egypt, the moon set minutes before the sun, determining Thursday as the first day of the new lunar month.
This coordinated effort highlights Egypt’s commitment to precise, unified announcements for Islamic months, ensuring trust and clarity for all citizens.
