🌙 Ramadan Crescent Sighting – February 17th

Assalamu Alaikum!

In-sha-Allah, we will observe the Sunnah of moon sighting to determine the start of the blessed month of Ramadan.

  • Sighting Date: Tuesday, February 17th
  • Our MATLA’ (Sighting Region): All of North & South America (including East & West Coasts).
  • The Process: We will wait for sunset in our region and verify all credible testimonies (Shadaat) before announcing the start of Ramadan. This includes waiting for the West Coast (Vancouver) sunset (approx. 8:36 PM – 9:36 PM our time) if no sighting is reported earlier.

🌙 Regarding Taraweeh & Quran Recitation:

If a positive sighting is confirmed after 9:00 PM, we will still hold 20 Rakat Taraweeh in the Musallah that same night. To accommodate the late start, the prayers will feature shorter Surahs.

Jazakallahu Khairan for your patience and for following the beautiful Sunnah!
