At least five Eid-ul-Fitr congregations will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque this year.

According to a media statement issued by the Islamic Foundation on Wednesday, the prayers will take place at 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, and 10:45am on Eid day.

The first congregation will be led by Baitul Mukarram Pesh Imam Hafez Mufti Maulana Muhibullahil Baki, with Muazzin Hafez Md Ataur Rahman serving as the Mukabbir.

The second congregation will be conducted by Senior Pesh Imam Hafez Mufti Maulana Mizanur Rahman, with Md Nasirullah acting as the Mukabbir at 8am.
