They keep labeling Muslim public figures and those that speak up for Palestinians as ‘antisemites’. Here’s a masterclass on how to shred that argument by Abdul ElSayed.

NBA player Victor Wembanyama arrived for his game against the Oklahoma City Thunder wearing a traditional outfit to mark Eid.

Despite online speculation, Wembanyama, who is French and plays for the San Antonio Spurs, confirmed during a postgame press conference that he wore the garment in observance of the Muslim holiday.

Whether it was the small group of hecklers who appeared at our Eid prayer today, or those who misuse the right to free speech to spread hatred online, or individuals who go even further by committing acts of violence, they do not represent Christianity or the teachings of Jesus, peace be upon him, that they claim to uphold. Such behavior stands in contradiction to the values of compassion, dignity, and respect that lie at the heart of faith.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the MI Clergy Rapid Response for standing in solidarity with the Muslim community at the Eid Prayers in Dearborn today. We are also deeply appreciative of Pastor Laura MP and other local clergy members from the Interfaith Clergy Association of Greater Lansing who expressed their support and willingness to stand with us in solidarity in the aftermath of the shooting at the Islamic Center in San Diego.

We thank the Lansing Police Department for their professionalism and support in helping ensure a safe environment for worshippers, including asking the disruptive individuals to leave the immediate prayer area and restrict them to the public spaces.

We also extend our appreciation to the Lansing School District's Department of Public Safety Department for their efforts in ensuring the safety of attendees, and to the Superintendent Jessica Benavides and Deputy Superintendent of Special Populations Sergio Keck, for their presence and concern upon learning of the disturbance.

Today’s gathering was ultimately a beautiful reflection of community, resilience, and solidarity- and amplified duly by Imam Sohail in his sermon, and we are grateful to our very community members who remained calm and helped protect that spirit.

Eid al-Adha Prayer and celebration - Wednesday, May 27
Venue: Eastern Athletic Fields
400 N Pennsylvania Ave., Lansing
This outdoor venue is to the north of UM-Sparrow Hospital.

Gathering and Takbeerat - 9:00 am
Prayer followed by sermon - 9:30 am
After the prayer, children can enjoy a variety of fun activities on-site, including bounce houses, face painting, balloon twisting, and a trackless train ride.

Please bring a prayer rug and a bag for your footwear.
Temperatures are expected to be between 65F-75F, so a spring jacket will come in handy.

Parking is free but fills up quickly. Traffic delays possible owing to single point of entry. Please give yourself enough time to park and get to the venue as we like to start on time.

Please plan to arrive early, as traffic delays may occur due to the single-lane road leading to the parking area.

We will hold an early Eid prayer at 7:00 AM at the masjid for those who have school or are unable to take time off from work. However, as Eid is a time of communal celebration, we warmly encourage you and your family to join us for the main gathering at the Eastern Athletic Fields.

At our last Eid prayer gathering at the Lansing Center in March, a few individuals who were not affiliated with the event attempted to provoke attendees. Should this occur again at Eid al-Adha, we kindly ask everyone to refrain from engaging with them and to ignore their remarks. Their intention is to create disruption and distract us from our prayers, celebration, and community gathering. We also respectfully ask that no one attempt to engage in dawah or debate in that setting, as it is neither the appropriate time nor place.
