Pray Your Eid Prayers at Home Tomorrow, Eid Mubarak!

The auspicious occasion of Eid-Al-Fitr dawns upon us with the sun setting today, on the last day of Ramadan 1442. Arriving with blessings and celebrations of a successful holy month of fasting, pious deeds and rejuvenation of the spirit, this Eid meets us in yet another challenging time.
 
Around the globe, the claws of the global pandemic have made us return to the safety of indoors. Ministry of Islamic Affairs in the Maldives has announced the cancellation of Eid Prayers in a mass gathering in the Greater Male’ Region, in advice considering the current Covid situation. However, islands free of community spreads will have Community Eid Prayers in accordance with HPA guidelines and regulations.  

A number of islands, including the Greater Male Region are under strict monitoring and scheduled curfews based on the severity of the Covid spread in the community. Henceforth, Eid celebrations are also advised to be as minimal and meaningful with your loved ones as following social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing, and with masks on at all times.
