The images were taken from the highest peak in the UAE, the Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah; and Al Khatim Astronomical Observatory in Abu Dhabi.
The centre had earlier shared images that showed officials setting up special telescopes atop the Jabal Jais to spot the crescent moon.
Unlike the Gregorian calendar where months have fixed days, the Islamic one is based on lunar cycles. Hence, its dates change accordingly. An Islamic month is 29 to 30 days long, but not 31 days.
