The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has predicted a strong chance of the Muharram moon being sighted on June 26, 2025.
According to a SUPARCO spokesperson, the new moon is expected to be born on June 25, 2025, at 3:32 PM (local time). By the evening of June 26, it will be about 28 hours and 15 minutes old, making it clearly visible if the weather is favorable. SUPARCO added that in Pakistan’s coastal areas, the gap between sunset and moonset is expected to be about 75 minutes, making it ideal for spotting the new moon.
If the skies stay clear, the chances of sighting the moon will be very high on the evening of June 26. If this happens, the first day of Muharram 1447 AH will likely be observed on June 27, 2025.
