Eid al-Fitr 1441 A.H. Mubarak!
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
"And those who believe and perform righteous deeds, it is they who are the inhabitants of the Garden, therein to abide." (Quran 2:82)
We say: Peace be upon you,
O greatest month of God! O festival of His friends!
Peace be upon you, O most noble of accompanying times!
O best of months in days and hours!
Peace be upon you, month in which expectations come near
and good works are scattered about!
Peace be upon you, the neighbor in whom hearts became tender and sins became few!
From Supplication of Farewell to the Month of Ramadan by Imam Sajjad (AS)
Asaalaumun Alaykum, With Greeting of Peace,
There were several reliable sightings of the new crescent moon on the East Coast of the United States on Saturday, May 23, 2020; therefore, tomorrow Sunday, May 24th will be the first day of Shawwal and Eid al-Fitr.
Eid Mubarak to all. ICCNC wishes you and your family a very blessed and safe Eid al-Fitr.
We thank you for your participation in our virtual events and with your generous donations we were able to hold 12 online events this Ramadan. Also, we were able to financially assist over 10 families who were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and several more applications are under review. Furthermore, with the help of our volunteers, in this month we were able to cook and pack over 850 boxes of hot meals for the unsheltered population of Oakland.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ICCNC will have a virtual Eid Prayer on Sunday, May 24, 2020, starting at 9:00 AM via Zoom Inshallah. Please click here to register for the Eid Prayer Zoom Meeting.
We will open the service by having the Eid’s takbirs followed by a guided Eid Prayer and Khutbah (sermon) by brother Ahmad Rashid Salim. Following the Khutbah we will give the participants a chance to wish everyone an Eid Mubarak greeting.
