Gregorian date: Monday, May 25, 2026

Detailed Moon Explanation
Waxing Gibbous means the lunar disc is in a Waxing cycle and currently shows about 62.2% of its face illuminated from Earth.
At roughly 8.5 days into the synodic month, the moon is well past the new-moon reset and progressing through the visible cycle that shapes the Hijri calendar.
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, communities often watch both astronomical calculations and local moon-sighting practices when marking the beginning of a new month.
Dhu'l-Hijjah is the current Hijri month in Okayama. The present Waxing Gibbous is part of the same lunar rhythm that underpins Islamic months, prayer planning, and the anticipation of key worship days.
