Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE have announced that Eid al-Fitr in these countries will be celebrated on July 6. Authorities made the announcement on Monday evening after failing to sight the new moon. According to Moonsighting.com, the New Moon might be seen thru a powerful telescope in South America. There is no indication that the new moon will be seen over North America tonight. Therefore, Wednesday July 6th appears to be the likely Eid day for us and Allah knows best.
All indications so far are for Ramadhan to end on Tuesday July 5th in which case Eid Al Fitr will be on Wednesday July 6th. All members are requested to pray Maghrib in jamaat on Tuesday July 5th and look for the New Moon. Eid date will be confirmed based on moon-sighting information. There will be no taraweeh prayers on the night the new moon is sighted Eid logistics will be as follows: 1. 8.00 am Start Takbiraath 2. 8.30 am Eid Salah followed by Khutbah 3. 9.00 am Breakfast and Lunch 4.

Note: It is sunnah to eat an odd number of dates before going out to the Eid Salah (so that you are not in a state of fasting on the Eid Day).
Insha-Allah, by the Grace and Mercy of Allah(swt), the new moon of the Holy month of Ramadhan is expected to be seen Sunday June 5th over North America. As a result, Taraweeh prayers will start Sunday June 5th and the first day of fasting will be June 6th. Hafiz Ismail will be leading the taraweeh. We will pray 20 rakats.
