“Proclaim to men the Pilgrimage: they will come to thee on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path: That they may witness benefits (provided) for them, and mention the name of Allah on appointed days…” ~The Holy Quran, 22:27-28
As Salaam Alaikum,
Dear Believers,
We pray you are in the very best of health and spirit!
We wish you a Blessed 'Id Al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice)! Inshallah, Allah Willing, we celebrate 'Id Al-Adha this Tuesday, July 20th, which marks the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah of the lunar calendar month of Hajj 2021.
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
