Masjid Ibrahim (Park Rd) - 9:15

- Where possible, practice in the Sunnah of our Prophet pbuh and walk to the Masjid
- Maximise parking in our own car park by filling from the back and using all available space (double parking)

We will be praying Eid Salat with 6 extra takbeers as described at this link… https://www.namazzamani.net/english/how-to-perform-eid-ul-fitr-salat.htm

*A reminder also to settle your Sadaka Fitr as soon as possible* so it may reach its intended recipients before the Eid prayer.

Walking to Eid prayer is a beautiful Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
It brings spiritual reward and helps ease traffic for everyone.

**Why walk?**
1. **It’s the Sunnah:**
_“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to go out to the Eid prayer walking and return walking.”_ – Ibn Majah 1295 (Sahih)

2. **Take a different route back:**
_“The Prophet (ﷺ) would go one way and return another.”_ – Bukhari 986

3. **Every step counts:**
_“Each step erases a sin and raises a rank.”_ – Musnad Ahmad (Hasan)

Let us walk with intention, remembering Allah and reflecting on His mercy.
