Monday 22 September 2025 - 21:57

Morocco’s Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs announced late Monday that the first day of Rabiʿ al-Thani 1447 will fall on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

In a statement, the ministry said it had observed the crescent moon on the evening of Monday, corresponding to 29 Rabiʿ al-Awwal 1447 / September 22, 2025.

The ministry contacted Islamic affairs delegates across the kingdom, along with Royal Armed Forces units involved in moon-sighting, and confirmed that the crescent had not been sighted.

As a result, the month of Rabiʿ al-Awwal will complete 30 days, with the new lunar month beginning on Wednesday.

The ministry’s communiqué concluded with prayers for King Mohammed VI, Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, Prince Moulay Rachid, and the royal family, invoking prosperity for the Moroccan people and the wider Islamic nation.
