Doha, Qatar: Located just across the Holy Kaaba, the famous Clock Tower in Makkah shines its light in the sky, in a gesture signaling the entry of the Hijri month of Rabbi Al Awwal.

The bright green lights were turned on in the evening of August 23, 2025, which corresponds to the start of Hijri month Rabbi Awwal, 1447.

Haramain account on X shared a picture of the tower lights, illuminating the sky.

The sighting of the crescent of Rabbi Al Awwal is an important event for Muslims around the world, as the month carries the celebration of the birthday of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), occurring on the twelve day of the month.

The Hijri calendar is based on lunar sightings, which means that the state of the moon determines the passage of months as each month begins with the sighting of a new moon.
