Moonsighting Report (Shaban 1441 AH)

NASIMCO wishes to inform the community that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon in North America on Tuesday March 24th, 2020

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