Jordan is observing the crescent moon of Sha'ban tonight.

Arab Weather - On Monday evening, corresponding to the 29th of Rajab 1447 AH, Jordanians will be watching the sky to observe the crescent moon of the blessed month of Sha’ban, in an annual event that carries special significance, as it represents the official countdown to the holy month of Ramadan.

According to astronomical calculations and legal data from the Jordanian General Iftaa Department, the crescent moon will be sighted this evening to determine whether tomorrow, Tuesday, is the first day of the month of Shaaban, or whether the month of Rajab will complete its thirty days.

The process of sighting the new moon in Jordan is of particular importance, as Jordan relies on the legitimate sighting combined with precise astronomical calculations to determine the beginning of the lunar months, especially those related to the major religious seasons.
