Eid-ul-Fitr Prayers 2018

6/13/2018

Eid ul-Fitr will be on Friday, June 15, 2018. Come join us at Masjid Abu Bakr Al Siddiq for prayers. There will be two prayer services:

Takbeerat Begin at 8 a.m.; First Prayer: 8:30 a.m.
Takbeerat Begin at 9:30 a.m. Second prayer: 10 a.m.

Fitra: If you have not done so already, please remember to pay the Fitra before the prayer starts. The Fitra is $7.00 per each family member. There is a Fitra box at the masjid. Please also remember to be silent and listen to the Imam’s Khutba after the prayer.

Ibn Abbas R.A reported, the Prophet PBUH made Zakat ul Fitr compulsory so that those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk (committed during Ramadan) and so that the poor may be fed. Whoever gives it before Eid Salat will have it accepted as Zakat, while he who gives it after the Salat has given Sadaqah. – Abu Dawood

From Our FAQ Page

Was Masjid Abu Bakr used in the movie "My Name is Khan?"

The exterior front of Masjid Abu Bakr was used in the Bollywood film "My Name is Khan." The exterior was used to setup the film's mosque scene where the character of Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan) challenges a preacher's rendering of the story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son. That scene was not filmed in Masjid Abu Bakr; only the exterior of the masjid was used.
