AsSalaam Waliakum Faith Moonsighters of Al-Isam. Those try to follow the footsteps ๐ฃ ๐ of The Prophet Muhammad and the Sahabah. We (TCMA) are most humbled, honored, & proud to announce that in different parts of our global groups of sighters (proven by the naked eye --- using the videos & photos with their phone). That the Crescent New ๐ Moon of Dhul-Qiโdah was seen just after Maghrib Salaah on Saturday, the 29th day of Shawwal of Non-Islamic Calendar (Sat, April 18th, 2026) / on Islamic Calendar, recorded as Sunday, after the sun had set, because on the Lunar calendar the next day starts right after the sun has set (not at midnight as the Non-Islamic calendar records). For better understanding concerning this, please read the report we shared & posted on TCMA page ๐
That said, TCMA has recorded & now reporting officially:
The month of Shawwal, 1447-H as 29 days, That the Crescent New ๐ Moon of Dhul-Qiโdah was seen! Thus, the 1st of Dhul-Qiโdah as Sunday, 1447-H (Sunday, April 19th, 2026) Alhamdulillah Rabililamin๐๐โจ๏ธ๐ซ We therefore mark our Calendar (counting 29-days ahead) that the next sighting for the Crescent New ๐ Moon will fall, MishaAllah on Sunday, May 17th, 2026 (Sunday, 29th day of Dhul-Qiโdah before Maghrib Salaah) --- try remember that on the Islamic Calendar the next day starts after the sun has set, which is the time of Maghrib Salaah, SubhannahAllah๐๐
TCMA appreciate & much thanks to Allah for the photos that came from "The Crescent Society" & their moonsighter groups.
We also acknowledge, the moonsighters out of the Tri-States of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky for the beautiful photos of the sunset that they shared, though their skies were too stormy for them to see the crescent new moon (Allah Hu'alam).
On that note, leave you with:
May Allah Reward all of you for your efforts to "hear, obey & follow" Him & His Prophet (saws). Holding firm to that amazing legacy ๐ And May you have an Islamic Day & month. This 3rd Sacred Month on the Islamic Calendar.
This month designed by Allah (swt) --- go out & do something extra good deed or deeds --- even it's to perform an extra set of Rakat (prayers this hold month).
MaSalaama from TCMA๐๐๐๐, FISABILLILAH ๐๐ฅฐ๐
