Jumadal Akhirah 1446 AH: A New Month Begins

As we journey through the Islamic calendar, the arrival of Jumadal Akhirah 1446 AH is just around the corner. This coming month marks the 17346th lunation in the Islamic calendar and is a reminder of the precision and beauty of the lunar cycles that shape our Hijri months. Here’s what you need to know about its commencement and the fascinating science of moon sighting.

The New Moon and Crescent Visibility for Jumadal Akhirah 1446 AH

The lunar cycle for Jumadal Akhirah begins with the moon’s conjunction on Sunday, 1 December 2024, at 6:21 UTC. However, the crescent moon (hilal) will not be visible to the naked eye on that evening for most parts of the world. This is illustrated in the crescent visibility map for Sunday evening (see below).

The situation changes the following evening, on Monday, 2 December 2024, when the crescent moon will become easily visible from many locations worldwide. This significant shift in visibility, also depicted in the Monday evening crescent visibility map below, aligns with the practices of global moon sighting.

When Does Jumadal Akhirah Begin?

Based on these crescent visibility predictions, 1 Jumadal Akhirah 1446 AH will commence on Tuesday, 3 December 2024, for regions that follow calculated global moon sighting. This highlights the harmonious blend of traditional lunar observation and modern astronomical calculations in determining Islamic months.

The Ummul Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia also marks Tuesday, 3rd Dec 2024 as the first day of Jumadal Akhirah 1446 AH.
