Moon to Align Above Kaaba for Second Time in 2026 on Monday

The moon will align directly above the Kaaba in Mecca on Monday morning, October 5, marking the second such occurrence of 2026.

The alignment will be visible to the naked eye, allowing observers to watch without a telescope.

The phenomenon occurs when the moon reaches a position directly overhead relative to the Kaaba, the sacred structure at the heart of Mecca’s Grand Mosque.

The event concerns the moon’s apparent position in the sky, rather than a change in its shape or brightness. The supplied details do not specify the precise time of the alignment.
