The Crescent Moon of the Month of Safar, 1444 A.H.
The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Monday, August 29th, 2022 will be the first day of the month of Safar, 1444 A.H. for all 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 Saturday, August 27th, 2022, in any region of North America. Thus, Sunday, August 28th, 2022 will be the last day of Muharram.
