Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour



Montgomery County’s Committee For Ethnic Affairs (CEA) congratulates the global Muslim community for the completion of the Holy ceremonies of Hajj and the celebration of Eid al Adha.

The four-day Islamic holiday known as the Festival of the Sacrifice follows hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, and marks Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael.

كل عام وأنتم بألف خير وأعاده الله عليكم جميعاً بالخير

Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour!
