This year, some Muslim-majority countries have tightened restrictions for the holiday which traditionally means family visits, group outings and worshippers flooding mosques or filling public spaces.
While some are eager for mosques to re-open, Qadhi said, "We don't want to be a conduit for the situation exacerbating. We need to think rationally and not emotionally." "Today we are celebrating Eid like we have never celebrated before," Qadhi said in a sermon streamed online. "It's an atypical celebration but it is a celebration nonetheless.""It's gonna be an Eid for the books...but today we have to make the best of this Eid," he said after the sermon. Outside, cars--some with giggling kids looking out of windows--snaked around the mosque for a drive-through celebration to pick up goody bags.
"Eid is important but more important is the health of the people," said Maulana Abdulrahman Patel, the imam. "We've been taking a lot of precautions," and not acting on "sentiments or emotional feelings," he said before the holiday, adding they have been consulting with health and other officials. The Muslim community in the county "has been very receptive and proactive in ensuring that they keep safety guidelines," he said.
"It's just to keep people connected," he said. "We're trying to avoid any spread of the coronavirus."
Each to his/her own religious beliefs. Peace is what this world needs.
