The Kingdom of Morocco and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will observe the month of Ramadan 1440 AH / 2019 AD, on two different days, as Saudi Arabia will observe on Saturday, May 4, 2019, while Morocco will observe on Sunday, May 5, because the beginning of Sha`ban will differ between the two countries.

The central conjunction will be on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 22:47 UTC, meaning there is no such thing as a crescent moon on Saturday evening, and more than that, the moon will set before sunset, and despite all this, the Saudi Supreme Court will call on all Muslims (the Tamir and Sudir observatories) to investigate A crescent moon does not exist, to announce that its sighting has not been proven because of “their grief” as usual, although it is known that it does not exist in the first place, so that the countries affiliated with Saudi Arabia announce the same thing, starting from the Gulf countries to Tunisia and the countries of the European Union.

The Kingdom of Morocco will observe the crescent on the evening of Sunday 5 Shaaban 2019 by official teams with 278 distributed in the national territory with the participation of the armed forces, as communications begin to trickle down to the Central Committee of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, starting from Figuig, the first city in which the sun sets in Morocco, ending with Dakhla, the last city in which the sun sets Confirming that the sighting of the crescent has not been proven, that is, the vision is negative, to announce the result of the monitoring on all national and audio media, as it does every month.

Thus, the first day of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia will be Monday, May 6, 2019, according to the Umm Al-Qura calendar, which is a calendar that is not based on scientific standards known for seeing the crescent, while the Kingdom of Morocco will announce its beginning on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 because it observes the crescent monthly.
