Eid Al-Fitr Announced

Alhumdulillah, the moon has been sighted in in Australia and Saudi Arabia. According to world sighting that would make tomorrow (Sunday, September 20, 2009) Shawwal 1st and Eid Al-Fitr. For those who follow local sighting, I do not know if there will be anyone in the US going out and looking for the moon since most masajid are following the calculation the would put out by the Fiqh Council. The Fiqh Council has already declared Sunday as Eid Al-Fitr.
