Bismillah. Please refer to the “next new moon” at http://www.crescentmoonwatch.org: the moon is invisible tonight but visible from most of the world tomorrow (Thurs 9th).

The ECFR / Leeds Mosque announcement of Eid for Thursday 9th September follows Sheikh Ahmad Shakir (using conjunction rather than visibility) and is similar to the Jewish method: it’s their New Year tomorrow (Rosh Hashanah).
