Brussels : Muslims in Belgium celebrated Eid Al-Fitr which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadhan Sunday by offering special prayers in mosques.
The Islamic Centre in Brussels – the biggest mosque in Belgium – was packed with worshippers.
In his khutba (sermon), the director of the Centre Dr.Abdulaziz Al-Yahya called on Muslims to adhere to the noble teachings of Islam and not to be misled by materialistic and atheistic propaganda.
As today is a car-free day in Brussels some mosques arranged prayers to be held earlier than usual Between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. (local time), cars are prohibited in the city. Only pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized traffic are allowed to use the roads. Public transport is free for the day.
An estimated 450,000 Muslims live in Belgium which has a total population of about 10 million.
