Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, May 24!
SBIA adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on the confirmed, verifiable naked-eye sighting of the new crescent moon globally.
The new crescent moon of Shawwal was not sighted this evening. The blessed month of Ramadan will end on Saturday, May 23rd, with Eid on Sunday, May 24.
We wish everyone in all places at all times a blessed Eid Mubarak. May Allah accept your fasting and all your efforts during Ramadan.
No eid services will be held at the Fairgrounds this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Ramadan 2020
The 29th of Sha'ban falls on Thursday, April 23. We encourage the community to look for the first crescent of Ramadan after Maghrib on Thursday evening. SBIA follows global moonsighting and will make a determination as to the start of Ramadan that evening and will broadcast an announcement to the community. With shelter-in-place still in effect, our facilities remain closed at this time. This is indeed a unique Ramadan for all of us, and we will experience it in a manner that Allah ﷻ intended for us. We pray that you and your loved ones continue to remain safe, and this is a blessed Ramadan for you.
Imam Tahir gave a talk on preparing for Ramadan on our livestream last week. Watch Online.
