Crescent Moon Safar 1442 AH
There were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Thursday, September 17th, 2020. Therefore, Saturday, September 19th, 2020 is the first day of Safar, 1442 A.H. Day of Arbaeen/Chehelom will be Thursday, October 8th, 2020.
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.
