Crescent Moon Rabīʿ al-awwal 1444 AH
There were no verified sightings of the crescent moon at sunset on Monday, September 26th, 2022. Therefore, Wednesday September 28th, 2022 is the first day of the month of Rabi al-Awwal, 1444 A.H.
We ask God, the Most High, for success in performing good deeds and to hasten the Return of Our Master, Imam Mahdi (p) as we also pray to God, the Most Merciful, to bring a swift end to the current pandemic and grant a quick recovery to all those afflicted.
