In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu’ Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
MANAL is pleased to convey Eid greetings to all members of the community.
It is with a heavy heart that we see the passing of Ramadan, the month of moral and spiritual uplift, mercy and endless blessings, but at the same time we are grateful to Allah (SWT) for enabling us to experience this Ramadan through prayers and good deeds, and hope to experience many more Ramadans in the future Insha'Allah.
The successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid celebrations remind believers about the values of Gratitude (Shukr), Ihsan (compassion and excellence), and Sincerity (Khushu). These three living principles shape a believer’s character and impact the world around him/her. Gratitude grounds the heart in contentment and resilience, Ihsan elevates our dealings with kindness, justice, and excellence, and Sincerity purifies our intentions so that our actions carry lasting meaning. When these values are lived together, they nurture inner peace, strengthen relationships, build trust in communities, and bring barakah into our efforts. By embodying these timeless values in our daily lives, we do not only draw closer to Allah (SWT), but we also become a source of goodness, healing, and positive change in the current turbulent world.
We would like to share important information with our community as part of Eid celebrations.
For those who have not yet paid, Zakatul Fitr is $20 per person and must be paid BEFORE the Eid prayer. You can pay your Zakatul Fitr through the donation boxes/Square systems located at the mosque or through a member of the MANAL Executive Committee.
The first day of Eid al-Fitr Insha'Allah will take place on Friday March 20th.
There will be two Eid prayers - the first Eid prayer will start at 7:15AM and the second prayer at 8:45AM. Both prayers will be held at Suleman Dawood Masjid (135 Torbay Road, St. John’s).
There will be NO Eid prayer at the Masjid Al-Noor (430 Logy Bay Road).
When you come for the Eid prayer, please make sure that you make Wudu at home, and park in the designated parking area as per directions provided by MANAL volunteers.
MANAL would like to thank all the volunteers who help us maintain the Mosque and manage MANAL’s operational activities throughout the year and especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
May Allah (SWT) bless our community and the whole Muslim ummah with a happy and peaceful Eid.
Eid Mubarak
Jazakum Allahu Khairun,
MANAL Executive Committee
