Hawa Koroma, Fatamaran Sedate, Mabinty Manimin and Isaca Lamar celebrate Eid wearing traditional celebratory dress
Members of the United Community of Muslims of the United States celebrated Eid, marking the end of the month-long dawn to sunset fasting of Ramadan on April 21. The Eid prayer is traditionally performed by a congregation in an open area, community center or mosque. Members gathered at Laurel Hill’s Central Green for their celebration. The Eid prayer, sermon and supplication, asked for God’s forgiveness, mercy, peace and blessing for all in the world.
The local group from Woodbridge seeks to empower youth, provide religious and social activities, prayer venues, and aid during crisis.
