RAMADAN MUBARAK!!!!

The Hilal Council of Canada has received credible reports of moonsighting. *Thus, the first day of Ramadhan will be TOMORROW on Saturday, April 2, 2022.* The first *night of taraweeh Salah will be Friday, April 1, 2022 (tonight).* May Allah Subhanahu wa'tala purify our hearts, and allow us to benefit from the blessed month of Ramadhan.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever does not give up false statements (I.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink" (Bukhari).

No sightings in Central America. It seems we will have to wait for the West Coast. Unless we get sighting reports from somewhere, a decision will be made between 11-11:15pm, as sunset in California is at 10:33 EST.
