InshaAllah Eid ul Adha will be on Friday, July 31.  Please continue to check our website for Eid Salah updates.

Important Dates:
1st of Dhu'l-Hijjah (July 22)
9th of Dhu'l-Hijjah/Day of Arafat (Evening of Wed., July 29 to Evening of Thurs., July 30)

Fasting on the day of Arafah for non-pilgrims is a highly recommended Sunnah which entails a great reward:
"Fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year." (Muslim)

Unfortunately, due to rise in Covid-19 cases in Georgia and Mayor’s executive order to rollback city’s reopening plans to phase 1, Al-Farooq Masjid of Atlanta will remain closed until further notice. Allactivities including Jama’ah (congregation) for Jumu’ah Salah and five times daily payers are suspended till further notice. We will keep updating if there is any change in the decision.
