Mosque Foundation Celebrates Eid Al-Fitr

After fasting the 30 blessed days of Ramadan, the Mosque Foundation celebrated Eid Al Fitr on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008. The Eid Prayer was held outside, in accordance to the Islamic tradition if weather permits, at Toyota Park in Bridgeview.

Thousands of men, women and children attended the Eid celebration in the windy stadium under beautiful sunny skies. Mosque Foundation Imam, Sh. Jamal Said, led the Eid Prayer and delivered an inspiring sermon following the prayer. Mosque Foundation President, Dr. Zaher Sahloul, Sh. Kifah Mustapha, and Safaa Zarzour also addressed the worshippers prior to the prayer.

The crowds were in no hurry to leave after the prayer concluded, as families lingered outside the stadium to enjoy shopping in the bazaar, rides for the children, and socializing with family and friends on this blessed and joyous occasion.

May Allah accept our fasts, our prayers, and our deeds, and let us live to see the next Ramadan. Ameen.
