RHCNA's Request to Muslim Ummah:

RHCNA requests the Muslim Ummah to adhere to the prescribed method outlined in the
Quran and Sunnah of following the ‘rooyat,’ verifiable sighting of the new crescent moon
to begin and end the month,  and if the moon is not sighted to ‘complete the thirty days’
(Bukhari).  Contrary to the notion, a pre-calculated calendar is not a substitute of the way
bestowed to us by the Beloved Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu alaihi wasallam).  Ibadah, such as,
Ramadhan, Hajj, Eid, and others are based on the rooyat; it for this reason that we must be
especially vigilant to watch for the moon.

RHCNA would like to invite Islamic institutions in USA and Canada to join us in this cause.
