The Crescent Moon of the Month of Dhu al-Qidah, 1442 A.H.

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

The Crescent Moon of the Month of Dhu al-Qidah, 1442 A.H.

The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Saturday, June 12th, 2021 will be the first day of the month of Dhu al-Qidah, 1442 A.H. for the entire region of North America.

This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Thursday, June 10th, 2021 in any region of North America. Thus, Friday, June 11th, 2021 will be the last day of the month of Shawwal.

Important Islamic Events this Month:
11 Dhu al-Qidah (June 22) Birth Anniversary of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (p) (148 A.H.)
End of Dhu al-Qidah (July 10 or 11 pending moon-sighting) Martyrdom Anniversary of Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (p) (220 A.H.)
