Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,
Please make an effort to sight the Hilal on Thursday, January 30, 2025, for the month of Sha'ban 1446.
We humbly remind that this is a fardh kifayah and Rasulullah ﷺ said:
« احصوا هلال شعبان لرمضان »
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "[Carefully] Look for the Hilal of Sha'ban for Ramadan" (Tirmidhi 687)
كان رسول الله ﷺ يتحفظ من شعبان ما لا يتحفظ من غيره
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to carefully preserve (look for the Hilal of) Sha'ban like that of no other month. (Abu Dawood 2325)
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 Sha'ban 1446 will take place on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 7:35 am EST (12:35 UTC).
Information about the Hilal for the 29th of Rajab, 1446 ( Thursday, January 30, 2025 ) for some locations where CHC Representative Ulama Kiram make regular, organized moonsighting efforts are below.
(All times are in their respective local time zones.)
