To the respected believers in North America,

Peace be upon you.

The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that the first day of Jumada al-Akhira, 1448 A.H., will be as follows:

• Wednesday, November 11th, 2026, for the areas from Charlotte, North Carolina, passing through Nashville, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas, all the way to Sacramento, California, and the areas below.

• Thursday, November 12th, 2026, for the rest of North America.

This determination is based on verified reports of the crescent moon being sighted at sunset on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026, in several southern regions of the United States, along with astronomical data on the moon's position and the areas where the crescent could be seen.

We ask God, the Most High, for success in performing good deeds and to hasten the Return of Our Master, Imam Mahdi (p).
