Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Salam Alaykum,

The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Thursday, March 23rd, 2023, will be the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, 1444 A.H. for the entire region of North America.

This determination is based on the fact that there were verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023 in many locations.

Ramadan Mubarak! We ask God, the Most High, to accept your fasting, grant success in performing good deeds, and hasten the Return of Our Master, Imam Mahdi (p).

والحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذی جَعَلَ مِن تِلْکَ السُّبُلِ شَهْرَهُ رَمَضانَ، شَهْرَ الصّیامِ، وشَهْرَ الإسلامِ، وشَهْرَ الطَّهُورِ، وشَهْرَ التَّمحِیصِ، وشَهْرَ القِیامِ

حمد و ستایش مخصوص خداوندی است که ماه خود، رمضان، ماه روزه، ماه اسلام، ماه پاکیزگی، ماه تصفیه و ماه قیام (برای عبادت و شب زنده داری) را یکی از آن راهها (ی احسان و نیکی) قرار داد

…Praise is due to Allah Who determined His month, Ramadan, the month of fasting, Islam, cleanliness, purity, and standing up (for worship and vigil), as a way (of benevolence).
