Your Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin,
Secretary of State of the Vatican,
Greetings and respect,
We have received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, the Pope of the Vatican, who held a high spiritual status among many peoples of the world and was deeply respected by all, due to his distinguished role in serving the causes of peace and tolerance and showing solidarity with the oppressed and persecuted across the globe.
The historic meeting that brought him together with the Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf was of great significance, as both parties affirmed the fundamental role of faith in God Almighty and His messages, and the commitment to noble moral values in overcoming the major challenges facing humanity in this era. They emphasized the need for joint efforts to promote a culture of peaceful coexistence, reject violence and hatred, and uphold values of harmony among people based on the safeguarding of rights and mutual respect among followers of various religions and intellectual orientations.
As the Supreme Religious Authority extends its condolences and sympathy to the followers of the Catholic Church around the world on this grievous loss, it wishes them patience and solace and prays to Almighty God to bestow upon them and all of humanity the goodness, blessings, and peace that befit His vast mercy.
Following the holy fasting month of Ramadhan, Eid-ul-Fitr serves as a timely reminder to be grateful for what we have and to share with those who may be less fortunate. It is an occasion to celebrate by gathering with friends and family to show gratitude towards God.
Paying Zakat al-Fitr is obligatory for Muslims on this day.
Insha’Allah, Eid ul Fitr will be on Monday, March 31, 2025 and Eid prayers will be held at 09.30 am at:
Islamisch-Kultureller Verein Ahlebeyt Schweiz
Grabenstrasse 7
