Thank you for a beautiful Ramadan together in the community! According to the regional moonsighting, MCC will celebrate Eid ul-Fitr ’26 with six prayer services on Friday, March 20.
Please remember to pay your household’s Zakat ul-Fitr ($12/person) before the Eid prayers.
Here are MCC’s arrangements for six prayer services on Eid morning on Friday morning (we will not have outdoor prayers due to forecasted rain):
*Please arrive at the MCC Prayer Hall for Takbeerat by 7 a.m.*

Second Eid Prayer Service (SRVIC)

MCC follows traditional moon-sighting that relies on the regional, verifiable naked-eye sighting of the new crescent moon for the start of all Hijri months. Please see this video to understand this practice.
Because we will be celebrating Eid at the Fairgrounds this year, we will not be hosting our Annual Eid Carnival.
No RSVP is needed. Each Eid prayer will start promptly. Each service is preceded by 15 minutes of recitation of the Eid Takbeerat.
Each Eid service will be less than 30 minutes long. The Eid prayer will start promptly at the state time above. Please arrive early. Please stay seated after the prayer; the Eid sermon follows the congregational prayer.
*The takbeerat begins 15 minutes before each Eid prayer begins promptly. The sermon follows the Eid prayer. Please remember that the Khutbah (sermon) follows each prayer, so please pay attention to it.
Please also play the Eid Takbeers in your car on the way to the prayer.

*MCC adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on confirmed, verified naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon globally. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohpzeUf9w9c

Please remember that the congregational salat is prayed first for Eid (in contrast to the weekly Jumu’ah prayer), and then worshipers listen to the Eid sermon. Please stay seated after the prayer.
