Over 400 Ahmadiyya Muslim gathered at Baitur Rahman Mosque – Glasgow to celebrate Eid al-Fitr
Hundreds of Muslims gathered at Baitur Rahman Mosque in Glasgow to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the “festival of breaking the fast,” marking the end of Ramadan.
Approximately 400 members of the Glasgow Ahmadiyya Muslim Association assembled from 9:30 AM for a day of spiritual reflection and community connection. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated the day after the new moon appears, signaling the end of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
Fakhar Aftab, the Regional Qaid for Scotland and Missionary in Glasgow, said, “Eid al-Fitr is not just a celebration marking the end of the blessed month of Ramadan but a reminder of the countless blessings Allah bestows upon us.”
“It teaches us the virtues of self-discipline, charity, and compassion—principles we embraced during Ramadan and will carry with us throughout the year.”
Special prayers were offered for global peace and stability, as well as for those suffering from wars, conflicts, and natural disasters.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, with its slogan “Love for All, Hatred for None,” reaffirmed its dedication to promoting peace, community cohesion, and the values of compassion and charity.
