    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 Wednesday, July 19th, 2023, will be the first day of Muharram, 1445 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 Tuesday, July 18th, 2023 in many locations.

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