Jumada al-Ula Crescent to Be Born Next Saturday

The new moon marking the start of the Islamic month of Jumada al-Ula will be born next Saturday at 6:51 p.m. Cairo time, immediately after conjunction.

Conjunction is the astronomical alignment that marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle. It provides a reference point for calculations of the Islamic calendar.

The birth of the new moon does not mean the crescent will be visible immediately. Crescent visibility is a separate consideration in determining the start of a lunar month.

The information provided specifies the time of the new moon but does not give a calendar date for the first day of Jumada al-Ula or details about crescent visibility.
