Eid-ul-Adha will be on Friday 1st September 2017 insha’Allah.

Eid jamaat will be at 830 AM (City Jami’ Masjid, M12 4DT).

Important dates:

– 8th Dhul Hijjah/Start of Hajj: Wednesday 30th August.

– Day of Arafah (Yawm ul Istighfar or Yawm ur Rahmah): Thursday 31st August

– Eid al-Adha / Yaum an-Nahr: Friday 1st September

The first ten days of the month of Dhul Hijjah are great in virtue and it is from the Sunnah to increase in worship and good deeds; especially fasting on the Day of Arafah.

Abu Qutadah (ra) reports that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasallam) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafah. He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” (Muslim)
