Eid al-Fitr Prayer at ICCNC Main Hall on Thursday, May 13, 2021, at 9:00 A.M. with Registration
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When is the Eid?
The month of Shawwal's new moon is born on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 (the day of conjunction), but no one can see it anywhere in the world. The new moon will become visible to the naked eye on Wednesday, May 12, 2021, in North America and many other parts of the world also Tuesday is the 30th day of Ramadan; therefore, Thursday, May 13, 2021, will be the first day of Shawwal 1442 and Eid ul-Fitr.
Inshallah, we will have the Eid Prayer at the Main Hall (at 50% capacity) on Thursday, May 13, 2021, starting at 9:00 AM. In addition, the event will be live-streamed via ICCNC YouTube Channel.
