A kaleidoscope of festivities resonated the world over as roughly a quarter of humanity zestfully celebrated Eid Al Fitr.
A Muslim holiday radiating gratitude, giving and rebirth rejoicing the consummation of worship, charity, and fasting savored amid the blessed voyage of sacred Ramadan, a pillar of Islam.
Locally in Meriden, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, lovingly opened their doors in true spirit of holy Eid to fellow Americans of every Faith and even no Faith at Baitul Aman (Abode of Peace) Masjid.
The celebration was launched with spectacles of Prophet Muhammad’s, peace be upon him, sublime practices; generous donations for the less fortunate called Fitrana, Salat or congregational worship, a Khutbah or address, and exchanges of love and Mubarak.
Some 250 worshipers prayed moving in unison behind one leader who heart-stirringly chanted the Holy Quran. A quickening entreaty delivered by the African American prayer leader to not only sustain the elevated reformation and nearness to the Divine won via the month-long training but also actively combat radicalization, violence, and injustice followed. A heartfelt Eid Mubarak wishing everyone the felicitations of the jubilant and resurrecting day closed the oration. Recognition plaques for scholastic advancements were awarded by Manzur Mannan, the community’s Education secretary, Dr. Mahmood Qureshi, President of AMC, CT, and Ahmad Jamal a Muslim American Jazz artist. Multicultural dishes were savored at a reserved park neighboring the Mosque where also a rejuvenating array of sports was enjoyed. Two bridge-building Christian friends, including respected Win Smith Jr., VP of the Milford Rotary and his mother, joined the philanthropic Muslims in merriment.
