ISGH Local Crescent Sighting

Assalamualaikum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatuhu,

Respected Brothers and Sisters, ISGH Religious Council along with Members Committee has unanimously decided with the guidance of our Ulema that it is time for our community to revert back to the Sunnah of Local Crescent Sighting.

We as an ISGH family will search for the Ramadan's crescent on Friday night after Salatul Maghreb. We encourage all of you to go out from your homes to search for the crescent so that we may act upon the Sunnah of searching the crescent of Ramadan.

ISGH will rely upon the Hilal Committee of North America's guidance in pronouncing the beginning and the end of the month of Ramadan.

We encourage all of our community members to follow the Hilal Committee of North America's webpage as a guide for the announcement of the blessed month of Ramadan.

Our Taraweeh and Eid prayer announcements will be in accordance with the guidance provided by the Hilal Committee of North America. ISGH Religious committee and the Council Members will be present in ISGH after Salatul Isha on Friday to answer any questions.

We will wait for the announcement from the Hilal Committee of North America to either start the prayer if the crescent is sighted on Friday night or start the Taraweeh on Saturday night if the crescent is NOT sighted on Friday night.
