Sayeda Khadija Centre scheduled three Eid Salat this morning.
We attended the first one scheduled at 7:30 a.m.
This middle Eid Prayer, the second, would have Takbeerat beginning at 8:30 a.m. followed by Prayer at 9:00 a.m.
Before Takbeerat began for the second time this morning,
Mayor of Mississauga, Bonnie Crombie, addressed Sayeda Khadija Centre’s second Eid Al Fitr Prayer Congregation which you see near the very beginning of the Livestream.
Mayor Crombie was on a tour this morning of visiting and addressing Eid Al Fitr Prayer gatherings all around her hometown of Mississauga.
Moments after she had finished addressing the congregation, it just so happened that the hallway which The Mayor used to exit from the main Prayer Hall, was the same hallway in front of the classroom where we were still sitting in.
As we were still sitting near the doorway, I saw her rush by, en route to the next Eid prayer at another Mississauga Masjid.
By the time Takbeerat for the second Eid Prayer had started up, we were already in the outer hall, where a young brother named Kasim recognized me.
I still have to blog about the first Eid Salat of the day, which I attended, but for now, I am posting video of this one with Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi as Khateeb, which I did not attend in person.
