The Jamiatul Ulama South Africa’s Central Hilaal Committee acts on behalf of UUCSA in the coordination of the sighting of the moon. The next sighting of the moon for the determination of the start of Jumaadal Ulaa 1446 Hijrī, the new year, shall be on Saturday 02 November 2024. At sunset in Johannesburg, the Hilâl will be 27 Hours 37 Minutes, in-sha-Allah.
