Moon Sighting Forecast for Rajab al-Murajjab 1447 AH
As we prepare for a new month in the Islamic calendar, the excitement builds around the sighting of the moon that marks the beginning of Rajab al-Murajjab 1447 AH. The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) issued its forecast recently, and it’s intriguing to see what they predict!
According to SUPARCO, the new moon is set to be born on December 20, 2025, at 6:43 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST). This celestial event is a pivotal moment for many, as the sighting of the moon determines the start of the Islamic month.
Now, here’s something cool: by the time the sun dips below the horizon on December 21, 2025, the moon will be about 35 hours and 26 minutes old. In coastal areas of Pakistan, the moon will set only 63 minutes after sunset, giving sky-watchers ample time to spot it if conditions are right.
Based on these calculations, it’s likely that the moon will be visible to the naked eye on the evening of December 21. If it is spotted, this will mean that the first day of Rajab al-Murajjab is expected to be on December 22. Of course, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has the final say and will confirm the beginning of the month based on verified sightings from across the country.
With the anticipation of this event, many will gather to witness the sighting, making it a time of community and celebration. Engaging in these traditions can deepen our connection to our cultural heritage and bring people together in joy.
