Eid al Fitr is a rejoiceful day for Muslims all over the world. The day is truly a celebration because it signifies the fruits of their labor and sacrifice that took place during the Ramadan observance. The most wonderful thing about Eid is the sense of community and unity that it brings forth.   The event will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and will be welcoming community members and leaders with a goal of bringing together communities from a wide area within southwestern Ontario ranging from Erin and Dundalk to Alliston.  The invitation to this event is extended to non-Muslims as well as community representatives from towns and cities including Shelburne and Orangeville with the purpose of sharing the happiness of this special day celebrated by Muslims worldwide.  The Dufferin Muslim Centre (DMC) is a place where community unites with a vision to educate, enrich, and secure a sense of belonging for adults and children alike in our present day challenges. This vision includes and encourages inter-faith dialogue, religious services, and a wide variety of unique educational opportunities for men, women, and children.  The centre is located at 506195 Hwy 89 Unit #1 and the email is dufferinmuslimcentre@gmail.com and phone number is416-566-2208.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2022-04-28 12:16:52 Post date GMT: 2022-04-28 16:16:52 Post modified date: 2022-04-28 12:17:01 Post modified date GMT: 2022-04-28 16:17:01 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
