To the respected believers in North America,

The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Sunday, September 13th, 2026, will be the first day of Rabi al-Akhir, 1448 A.H. for the United States and southern parts of Canada.

This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Friday, September 11th, 2026, in any region of North America. Therefore, Saturday, September 12th, 2026, will be the last day of Rabi al-Awwal, 1448 A.H.

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