What "night / day" of Shawwal is it ?

Of course, confusion often kicks in, which often depends on how you started the month. 😀

A "night / day" starts at different times, after sunset at Maghrib (Islamic calendar) and at Mid-night (conventional calendar)
The symbol 🌙 indicates the evening the New crescent moon was first seen.
The symbol 🌙 ?? indicates next/new crescent moon (hilal) sighting expected, but uncertain/pending confirmation". It's not a confirmed sighting yet — just anticipation for the next month's beginning.

This calendar chart may help in tracking the month effectively to avoid unnecessary confusions 😀

==========

Shawwal is "proposed" to begin on the evening of "Friday 20th, March 2026" - "first night" when the crescent should easily be visible throughout much of the globe. (See chart attached)

"Saturday 21st, March 2026" to mark the "first day" of Shawwal and consequently, Eid-Al-Fitr.

Hilal Crescent Moon watch - Uganda in conjunction with other moon sighting networks across East Africa, receive any positive sighting reports from anywhere in Uganda and the rest of East Africa on the evening of Thursday.

Asalaam Aleikum'

Thursday, 19th March 2026, is the 29th day of Ramadhan 1447AH according to local sighting.

Look for the New moon of Shawwal that Thursday evening.

=================

=================

The Ummah is encouraged to go out and look for the New crescent moon (hilal) in the western sky on the evening of Thursday (after 29 days of Ramadhan) in anticipation of the beginning of Islamic month of Shawwal so as to establish the date of Eid-Al-Fitr.

Reliable visibility observation forecasts indicate that on Thursday evening, the likelihood of both "naked eye" and "Optical aid" based sighting is "extremely low" across Uganda and the rest of East Africa. (See chart attached)

Please still go out to implement the sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ)
The crescent would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set.
It is a beautiful experience to sight it's first emergence and it is the sunnah of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) that we hope the Ummah revives.

If the crescent is seen, then "Friday 20th, March 2026" will mark the "first day" of Shawwal 1447AH and Eid-Al-Fitr and the evening of "Thursday 19th, March 2026", the "first night".

If the crescent is not seen, then we will therefore complete 30 days of Ramadhan enjoying another extra blessed day of this Holy month implying that "Saturday 21st, March 2026" marks the "first day" of Shawwal and consequently Eid-Al-Fitr and the evening of "Friday 20th, March 2026" as the "first night."

============

Latest observational results for the search will be provided as soon as possible on the evening of Thursday but no later than 8:00 pm | 20:00 +3 GMT EAT.

Note : Final determination and announcements will be provided here as soon as moon sighting reports have been submitted and awaiting final approval.



May Allah bless your efforts.

And lastly,
Alhamdulillah wa shukr! For far too long we stayed silent, heads down, hearts focused on the sky —enduring wave after wave of pure filth from certain 'moon sighting accounts' (y'all know who you are, and the ummah is watching ).They didn't just stop at:death-threat DMs that would make Shayṭān blush
nonstop spam floods
venomous, soul-crushing insults
raw, unfiltered hatred rants
savage public mockery & humiliation attempts
wild, baseless accusations to smear our names
desperate sabotage plots to kill our efforts

No—they escalated to constantly mass-reporting our accounts to X with fabricated lies, spreading the most disgusting false rumors and character assassinations, all to get us shadowbanned, suspended, or silenced. Enough. Is. Enough. We've been quiet. Patient. Making du‘ā instead of dragging. But silence isn't weakness—it's strategy. And now? The mask is off. We rise unbothered, unbreakable, and unstoppable. Their noise only proves how threatened they are by sincere, evidence-based work. To every real one who supported, prayed, shared quietly, or simply believed in the truth: YOU are the heartbeat of this. Your sabr is legendary, your loyalty priceless. Jazākumullāhu khayran katheera—may Allah reward you with the best of both worlds. The moon answers to Ar-Raḥmān, not to trolls, liars, or report-button warriors. Keep your eyes upward, hearts pure, and tongues moist with dhikr. We out here still sighting, still serving, still winning—by Allah's permission. Who's with us? Let's keep the light shining brighter than their darkness ever could! " 💫
