To the respected believers in North America,
The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, will be the first day of Muharram, 1448 A.H., 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 Monday, June 15th, 2026, from different regions in North America.
We ask God, the Most High, to grant success in performing good deeds, and hasten the Return of Our Master, Imam Mahdi (p).
