When is 1 Sha’ban 1446 AH?

The eighth month of the hijri calendar this year, Sha’ban 1446 AH, is around the corner. The conjunction of the moon on Wednesday, 29 January 2025 CE at 12:36 UTC will kick-off the new hijri month. However, on the evening at that day, the crescent moon – or hilal – will not be visible in most parts of the world. It is on the Thursday evening, that the sliver crescent moon will be visible to the beholder and marks the beginning of the month of Sha’ban. The crescent moon visibility map below describes this event:
