Imam Ali Masjid

Thursday, February 19th – 1st of Ramadan 1447
Thursday, February 26th – 8th of Ramadan 1447
Program starting at 6 pm with Maghrib & Isha prayers followed by iftar, speech, and recitation of Dua Kumayl. 

The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Thursday, February 19th, 2026, will be the first day of the Holy Month of Ramadan, 1447 A.H., for the entire region of North America.

This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent by the naked eye at sunset on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026, in any region of North America, due to the impossibility of sighting. Therefore, for areas that started Shaban on Tuesday, January 20th, Wednesday will be the last day of Shaban. And for the areas that started Shaban on Wednesday, January 21st, Wednesday will be the 29th day of Shaban. However, based on the astronomical data, the crescent sighting on Wednesday night is certain; therefore, those areas will also observe February 19th as the first day of Ramadan.

The prayer timetable for the Imam Ali Masjid area is attached:

It is with sadness that we must announce the passing of Marhoom Hajj Riyadh Hussein Hadi (Abu Maryam). The Janaza prayer for the Marhoom will take place on Monday, February 16th at 12pm at Morgan Cemetery (1100 Cinnaminson Ave, Cinnaminson, NJ 08077). The Fatiha for the Marhoom will take place on Monday, February 16th, from 5 pm to 7 pm at Imam Ali Masjid.
