Worshippers offered early morning prayers as part of the celebration, following a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection.
The Quezon City Bangsamoro Affairs Services said the observance of Eid’l Fitr was based on the official announcement of the Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta’, signaling the conclusion of Ramadan, a period devoted to fasting and strengthening one’s faith.
In a message, the group expressed hope that Allah would accept the sacrifices, prayers, and good deeds of the faithful, and continue to guide them toward unity and righteousness.
Meanwhile, an outreach activity was also held at the Quezon City Jail Male Dormitory in line with the Eid celebration.
A total of 135 Muslim inmates at the Quezon City Jail Male Dormitory participated in an outreach activity led by the Philippine Ulama Congress Organization Inc. and the QC Bangsamoro Affairs Services.
