Eid Mubarak! Important Announcements & Reminders for Eid al-Fitr 2025

Assalam Alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We pray this message finds you in the best of health and Iman. Insha’Allah, according to the Fiqh Council of North America, Eid al-Fitr will be celebrated on Sunday, March 30, 2025. May Allah (SWT) accept all your acts of worship throughout Ramadan and grant you the highest place in Jannah.

As we approach this blessed day, let us remember our brothers and sisters in Palestine, who will be observing Eid under brutal savage attacks by the inhumane Israeli forces. We ask Allah (SWT) to grant them strength, peace, and victory. Please keep them in your du’as and support them in any way you can.

A few important reminders and announcements for the upcoming days:

Eid Prayer – Sunday, March 30, 2025

Insha’Allah, due to the growing size of our community, we will have three groups for Eid prayer at Berlin Masjid to accommodate everyone. The schedule is as follows:

  • Second Group: Takbeer begins at 9:00 AM, Salah at 9:30 AM sharp
  • Third Group: Takbeer begins at 10:30 AM, Salah at 11:00 AM sharp

Please arrive early to ensure a smooth process for everyone.

Eid Mubarak! May Allah accept all your good deeds throughout this blessed month of Ramadan—your fasting, prayers, night qiyam, and charity. May He continue to bless you and your loved ones with peace, prosperity, and guidance.

Ramadan Iftar Hosting & Sponsorship

It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward the slightest”.    We will be hosting Iftar events on 7 nights in Ramadan insha’Allah. Each night requires iftar sponsorship by several people $500 each. Individuals may sponsor more than one slot. To share the reward (ajr) of these Iftars, please sign up.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: “مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ شَيْئًا
