Moonsighting Report (Sha’baan 1442 AH)

NASIMCO wishes to inform the community that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon on Saturday March 13th, 2021 in North America.

Therefore, Sunday March 14th, 2021 will be the last day of the month of Rajab and the first day of the month of Sha’baan 1442 A.H. will be on Monday March 15th, 2021 for the entire region of North America.

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

The declaration for the 1st of the month is made by NASIMCO from sighting reports received from member Jamaats and with guidance from the resident Alim of Toronto Jamaat, Mawlana Syed Muhammad Rizvi.
