Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,
Please make an effort to sight the Hilal on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, for the month of Safar 1445.
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 Safar 1445 will take place on Wednesday August 16, 2023 at 5:38 am EDT (9:38 UTC).

(All times are in their respective local time zones.)
