Update Concerning the Crescent Moon of the Holy Month of Muharram, 1441 A.H.
To the respected believers in North America, Peace be upon you.

The crescent moon of the Holy Month of Muharram was sighted by the naked eye at sunset on Saturday, August 31st, 2019 in many areas of North America, therefore, Sunday, September 1st, 2019 will be the first day of the month of Muharram, 1441 A.H. as mentioned in the previous statement, for the entire region of North America.بسمه تعالى
