السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

Dear Masjid Jafar Community,

Eid will be on Sunday, May 24th insha Allah.

After consultation with Ulama and Medical Experts, we have decided that we recommend our community make our Eid salat at home. This is in line with the predominant view of our larger Metro Atlanta community and the logistical challenges that it presents with crowding, distancing and socialization control, even if Eid salat were to be conducted in an outdoor setting.

Our Ulama have also made it clear that the Eid Salat and Eid Khutbah is a Sunnah (not Fard) as there is precedence in our tradition about praying Eid salat at home. Our highest priority is the health and safety of the community and to not put them at any risk.

Here is the proposed Eid schedule for Masjid Jafar:

8:35 am – Zoom session begins. Imam will do Takbeerats loudly. All members of the community are requested to follow all the sunnah pertaining to Eid – making ghusl on the day of Eid, wear good clean clothing, have breakfast and do Takbeerats with the Imam.

8:45 am – Imam will deliver a short lecture in English, giving instructions on how to pray Eid Salat.

9:00 am – Zoom session will pause so everyone can pray Eid Salat in their homes, in jam’ah (or individually) with your family members. The imam will not be leading the salat virtually.

9:10 am – Zoom session will resume and the Imam will deliver Advice and Dua, and deliver Eid greetings.

9:30 am – Zoom session concludes.

Please join us promptly on Eid Day at 8.35 am insha Allah.
