Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,
Please make an effort to sight the Hilal on Monday, June 15, 2026, for the month of Muharram 1448.
This is an excellent opportunity to easily revive a neglected Sunnah and a forgotten fardh kifayah:
- This is the hilal that decides the beginning of the New Islamic Year.
- The weather is pleasant outside.
- It is a good outing for the family, to teach the next generation about the traditions of our Deen.
Alhamdulillah, by the joint effort of all the Ulama and great cooperation throughout the States, we have revived this forgotten Sunnah of moonsighting throughout the year in many localities, all across the nation.
The birth of the Hilal for Muharram 1448 will take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026 at 10:54 pm EDT (Monday, June 15, 2:54 UTC).
Information about the Hilal for the 29th of Dhul Hijjah, 1447 (Monday, June 15, 2026) for some locations where CHC Representative Ulama Kiram make regular, organized moonsighting efforts are below.
(All times are in their respective local time zones)
