Eid ul Adha 2024
Assalamo Alaikum wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatuh Brothers and Sisters:
Eid ul Adha will be Insha Allah on Sun, June 16, 2024.
Eid prayer will be held at Washington Park, Groton CT 06340 (next to the police department).
The Takbeer will start at 7:00 AM. Salatu Al Eid will start at 8:00 AM sharp.
As a backup plan; in case of rainy weather, we will have Eid prayers at both Groton and Preston Masjids. There will be 2 prayers at each Masjid. First at 8:00 AM and the second at 9:00 AM.
We need some volunteer brothers to come early at 6:30 AM to set up the prayer area.
Light refreshments will be available after the Salaat. Please bring your favorite dish to share with other community members.
Musjid will provide coffee, water, danishes, donuts, and a few other refreshment items. Please do not take more than what you are going to eat to end throwing food in the garbage.
Please, bring your own prayer rug.
After the Eid prayer, we need help cleaning the place and removing the garbage. Another group of people have reservations for the place starting at 11:00 AM.
Please remember to fast on the day of Arafat on Saturday June 15th, and to offer your Udhiyah after Eid Prayer.
Eid party programs and ICNL Annual Picnic (firework day) will be on Saturday, July 13th, starting at 3:00 PM at the Masjid.
Musjid will sponsor the barbecue. Please bring your favorite dish and drinks to share with others.
There is a parking ban after 5 PM. So please be early for the Eid programs starting at 3:00 PM.
You may have to park away from the Masjid area if you do not get there early.
Please bring your own portable folding chairs to sit in for Eid Party and Fireworks.
On Friday night, please volunteer to come to the Masjid for Maghrib prayer to help the brothers prepare and taste the food for the barbecue.
We wish you all a very happy and safe Eid Mubarak. May ALLAH bless all of you and your family; and reward you for all of your good deeds.
Ameen.
Jazakum Allahu Kul Khair
