The Crescent Moon of the Month of Muharram, 1444 A.H.
In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Saturday, July 30th, 2022 will be the first day of the Month of Muharram for the entire region of North America.
This determination is based on the fact that there were verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Friday, July 29th, 2022, in Blacksburg, Virginia, Toledo, Ohio, and Denver, Colorado, as of the moment this announcement is being issued.
