Morocco to Celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday in September 2024

In Morocco, Aid Al Mawlid Annabaoui, the feast celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, will be celebrated in September.
Astronomical calculations indicate that the conjunction (alignment of the sun, moon and Earth) will take place on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at 01:55 GMT. The age of the crescent moon should not exceed 17 hours, but will not be visible in Morocco because its height above the horizon will be less than 5 degrees, according to the visibility forecasts of the new crescent established by Hassan Talibi, member of the Islamic Crescent Observation Project cited by Médias24. Thus, it will not be visible to the naked eye.
To read:
The new crescent of the month of Rabie Al Awal will only be visible on Wednesday, September 4, corresponding to 30 Safar 1446. Thursday, September 5 will thus be the 1st of Rabie Al Awal of the year 1446. Al Mawlid Annabaoui, corresponding to the 12th of Rabie Al Awal, will therefore be celebrated on Monday,
