Eid-al-Adha & Dhul Hijjah 2023 | 1444

The Islamic Association of Raleigh (IAR) congratulates you on the approach of Eid Al-Adha, on Wednesday, June 28. The IAR follows the official announcement of Eid Al-Adha date by Saudi Arabia, as do the vast majority of fiqh councils and the ummah worldwide in observing a unified Day of Arafah and Eid holiday. 

The blessed first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah start on Monday, June 19.  The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) encouraged us to take advantage of these holy days by increasing in our acts of worship: fasting, prayer, supplication (duaa), remembrance (dhikr), and all good deeds. Fasting is highly recommended, particularly on the Day of Arafah, occurring on Tuesday, June 27.  

Eid prayers will be held at the Exposition Center in two shifts.

1st Shift

Gathering at 7:30 AM with Prayer at 8:30 AM sharp

2nd Shift

Gathering at 9:30 AM with Prayer at 10:30 AM sharp

Exposition Center at NC State Fairgrounds

4825 Trinity Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607

We have adjusted the shift timings and highly encourage everyone who can make it to the first shift to plan accordingly to avoid being over capacity for the second shift. Please bring a prayer rug for yourself and your family. The khutbah will be broadcast live as a spiritual reminder for those tuning in from home.

We are delighted to highlight the amazing work of our community in this impact report.
