First Moharram Marks the Islamic New Year in Morocco
The First Moharram, heralding the Islamic New Year, will be celebrated in Morocco on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. This information was officially announced by the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs. The ministry confirmed that it had coordinated with its delegates and units from the Royal Armed Forces, who verified that the crescent moon marking the month of Moharram was not sighted. This announcement is significant as it marks the beginning of the year 1448 in the Islamic calendar, a time of reflection and renewal for many Muslims across the nation.
