The Council on American–Islamic Relations has advised mosques to remain shuttered despite instructions by president for places of worship to reopen.
The biggest Islamic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. has suggested there is a degree of irony in President Donald Trump deeming a mosque an"essential" place that should reopen, having once instigated a ban on Muslims entering the country.
A sign is displayed outside the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 24, 2020. Most mosques will remain closed despite the order by President Donald Trump that places of worship would be allowed to reopen.
While some mosques, such as in Houston, will open with limits on attendance, most Muslim communities are turning to technology to celebrate Eid al-Fitr this weekend, which marks the end of the month of Ramadan. Meanwhile, a televised Eid service in Michigan will be streamed on social media on Sunday morning, while the international Ismaili Muslim community's new online streaming channel, tweeted that it will mark the occasion with a two-day concert by Ismaili musicians.
