Saudi Arabia has announced the sighting of the crescent moon marking the start of Dhul Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
According to the announcement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday by Haramain Sharifain, Dhul Hijjah 1446 will commence on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
The post highlighted key dates for the upcoming Islamic observances:
The Day of Arafah, falling on June 5, holds immense spiritual significance as pilgrims gather at Mount Arafat for the climax of Hajj.
This is followed by Eid-el-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, on June 6.
Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham) devotion and willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah.
Haramain Sharifain also posted a supplication often recited by pilgrims entering a state of ihram: “Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayk la sharika laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda, Wannimata, Laka Wal-Mulk, La Sharika Lak.” (“Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily, all praise, grace, and sovereignty belong to You, and You have no partner.”)
This announcement allows Muslims worldwide to align their preparations for this sacred period, which includes Hajj, communal prayers, acts of charity, and the symbolic sacrifice of livestock.
