Hijri Context
Gregorian date: Friday, April 10, 2026

It is especially known for the six recommended fasts of Shawwal, which many Muslims observe after Eid.
Detailed Moon Explanation
Last Quarter means the lunar disc is in a waning cycle and currently shows about 55.5% of its face illuminated from Earth.
At roughly 21.6 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.
Shawwal is the current Hijri month in Okayama. The present last quarter is part of the same lunar rhythm that underpins Islamic months, prayer planning, and the anticipation of key worship days.
