Announcement Concerning:
The Crescent Moon of the Month of Jumādā al-Thāni, 1436
بيان بخصوص هلال شهر جمادى الثانية ١٤٣٦
To the respected believers in North America, Peace be upon you. The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars in North America announces that, Sunday, March 22, 2015, will be the first day of the month of Jumādā al-Thāni, 1436, for the entire region of North America. This is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon at sunset on Friday, March 20, in any region of North America. Thus, Saturday is the last day of Jumādā al-Awwal. We ask Allah (swt) for success in performing good deeds and hasten the Return of Our Master, Imam Mahdī (ajfs). The Crescent Committee- Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi, Toronto, Canada.
