The Islamic Foundation in Prague wishes all Muslims all the best for the Eid al-Fitr holiday and its beautiful experience. It announces:
Precise astronomical calculations regarding the beginning of the month of Shawwal for the year 1445 Hijri confirm that the new moon will occur at 18:21 GMT on Monday, April 8, 2024, i.e., the 29th of Ramadan 1445 Hijri, i.e., at 21:21 local time in Mecca. Therefore, the crescent moon cannot be sighted on Monday, April 8, 2024, in any part of the world with the naked eye or through telescopes and monitoring devices. Hence, the blessed month of Ramadan will be 30 days. According to this, the first day of Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr) of the year 1445 Hijri will be on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
The holiday prayer will be held in both mosques at two times as follows:
- Černý Most (Prague 9):
First time from 7:30 (men only)
Second time from 9:00 (for families and women)
- Center (Národní třída-Prague 1)
First time from 7:00
Second time from 8:00 - The Eid al-Fitr celebration will be held at the mosque (Černý Most-Prague 9) on Saturday, April 13, 2024, from 12:00, which will include an entertainment program, especially for children, combined with lunch for all.
All the best for the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
