Wifaqul Ulama urges Muslims in Britain to attempt to sight the moon for Dhū al-Qaʿdah 1447 on the evening of Friday 17th April 2026. This will be the 29th Shawwāl 1447.
We follow the same Moonsighting process for all 12 months and all proceedings will be live on Twitter.
The crescent moon marking the start of Dhu Al Qadah 1447 AH was photographed from Abu Dhabi on Saturday morning by the International Astronomy Center.
The image was captured at 10:00am UAE time on April 18, 2026, from the Khatm Astronomical Observatory, with the moon located 11.7 degrees from the sun and at an age of 16.5 hours, according to observatory data.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
