Eid ul Fitr 2024

Posted on by

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.

The Holy Quran Al-Baqarah 2:185
Ramadhan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺. So whoever is present this month, let them fast. But whoever is ill or on a journey, then ˹let them fast˺ an equal number of days ˹after Ramadhan˺. Allah intends ease for you, not hardship, so that you may complete the prescribed period and proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you, and perhaps you will be grateful.

The Holy Quran, 2:185

Paying Zakat al-Fitr is obligatory for Muslims on this day.

InshaAllah, Eid ul Fitr will be on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 and Eid prayers will be held at 09.30 am at:

Reflections on Spirituality – Joseph H Pereira

Joseph H. Pereira, popularly known as the Singing Priest, is an Indian Roman Catholic priest, social worker and the founder trustee of Kripa Foundation, a Mumbai-based non governmental organization working for the rehabilitation of HIV patients and people affected by substance abuse. He has been associated with Mother Teresa and B. K. S. Iyengar and is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences. A pupil of B. K. S. Iyengar and a proponent of Iyengar Yoga, he is a certified instructor of the yoga school. The Government of India awarded him the fourth highest civilian honour of the Padma Shri, in 2009, for his contributions to society.

We will be fortunate enough to have him in person at the Zainabiya Association on June 3, 2023, where he will be addressing the universal appeal of spirituality from a Yogic perspective.

Eid in the Woods

Posted on by

A belated Eid celebration at Waldhütte Spreitenbach with Moulana Syed Ali Raza Razvi. The highlight of the evening were the many difficult questions posed directly to the Maulana by the kids and adults alike, with all of us on the edge of our seats listening to his almost effortless answers. A truly memorable session – wholehearted thanks to the organisers!
