Thursday, March 19th is the last day of the prescribed fast of the Holy Month of Ramadan. The end of the Holy Month of Ramadan is observed with communal prayer called the 'Festival of Renewal' or 'Festival of Breaking of the Fast' (Salat-ul-'Id-Al-Fitr). 'Id Al-Fitr Prayer should be observed Friday, March 20, 2026. We observe 'Id Al-Fitr prayer in congregational communal prayer to celebrate this sacred occasion of completion of The Fast of The Holy Month of Ramadan. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad writes, "...Gathering of all people living in the same vicinity five times daily in the Mosque, is a help to the establishment of healthy social relations. In the daily service these relations are limited to a narrow circle, i.e., to members of the same neighborhood. But the circle becomes wider in the weekly Friday service which gathers together all Muslim members of a particular locality and become still wider, in the two great "Id" gatherings. Thus, prayer promotes social relations between the different sections of the Muslim community. Far more important that this, however, is the leveling of social differences brought about by means of congregational prayer. Once within the doors of the Mosque, every Muslim feels himself in an atmosphere of equality and love." ~The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman, pg. 138 Let us make every effort to participate in 'Id prayers to give thanks and gratitude to Allah for having Granted us His many Blessings!
