In 2007 the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) and the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) came to a consensus in the method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal.
Based on this criteria
1st of Ramadan
will beon Monday, August 1, 2011
1st of Shawwal (Eid Al-Fitr)
will beon Tuesday, August 30, 2011
May Allah keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and prayers.

Ramadan Kareem to all!
Some mosques and communities may observe different criteria for determining the start of the lunar month. Please confirm with your local moon-sighting authorities to determine when to start Ramadan.
