Note Regarding Eid
Based on astronomical data, the crescent will not be visible on Saturday, March 29, in the Eastern US either with either the naked eye or with optical aid. As such, Monday, March 31 will almost definitely be Eid.
It is expected that there may be reports of sighting the crescent on Saturday night from the Western US. These states have a separate horizon from the Eastern US, and any such reports will not affect the determination of Eid for our area.
Zakat al-Fitrah
As we joyfully mark the completion of the holy month of Ramadan, let us remember our duty to those in need. Zakat al-Fitrah is a sacred and obligatory charity given at the conclusion of Ramadan, on the day of Eid al-Fitr, to support those facing hardship.
This year, the recommended amount for Zakat al-Fitrah in the United States is $15 per person. The head of the household is responsible for paying this amount on behalf of themselves and their dependents, including any guests who were considered dependents on the eve of Eid al-Fitr.
If you are attending the Eid prayer, you may pay your Fitrah in cash before the prayer begins. May Allah (SWT) accept our charity and bless us all with His mercy and abundance.

By contributing your Zakat al-Fitrah to Imam al-Asr Masjid (IAM), you authorize IAM to convey your zakat to those in need on your behalf.
We warmly invite everyone to attend and encourage new members to join our growing community. To maintain the sanctity of our gatherings, we kindly ask that proper Islamic attire be observed at all times during Center programs.
Eid Mubarak in advance! May Allah (SWT) accept your fasts and good deeds.
Jazakum Allah Khairan
