This is to let you know that the moonsighting committee received credible moon sighting reports, in accordance with our approved criteria. Therefore, Tuesday, August 30th, will be Eid-ul-Fitr, the first day of Shawwal, in shaa Allah Taala.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and blessed Eid, may Allah Subhanaho wa Taala accept our Syam, our Qyam, and all our good deeds, forgive us all our shortcomings and guide us toward success in this life and the hereafter. Please also remember our brothers and sisters around the world in your duaa, especially those who may not be able to celebrate Eid fully because of the hardships they are currently facing.
Note:
This decision was based on sighting report from Chile by Fuad Musa and the Sheikh of the masjid and a sister who saw the new moon on Monday, 29th August, 2011 after sunset from the South of Chile.
