السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,
Please make an effort to sight the Hilal on Sunday, June 18, 2023, for the month of Zul Hijjah 1444.
This is an excellent opportunity to easily revive a neglected Sunnah and a forgotten Fardh Kifayah:
- This is the hilal that decides when Eid ul-Adhā is.
- It is a weekend night, making it easy for the whole family.
- The weather is pleasant outside.
- It is a good outing for the family, to teach the next generation about the traditions of our Deen.
- The chances of sighting are likely in this evening.
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 Zul Hijjah 1444 will take place on Sunday, June 18, 2023 at 12:37 am EDT (4:37 UTC).
Information about the Hilal for the 29th of Zul Qa'dah, 1444 (Sunday, June 18, 2023) for some locations where CHC Representative Ulama Kiram makes regular, organized moonsighting efforts are below.
(All times are in their respective local time zones.)
