As the sun rose over Baltimore at 8:15 a.m. on March 31, the streets surrounding Masjid Ul Haqq filled with the sounds of joyous greetings and the scents of women’s perfume and men’s musk lingering in the morning air. 

Families, dressed in their finest attire, gathered for the Eid prayer, marking the end of Ramadan with gratitude and celebration. The congregation joined together in unison, reciting the Takbirat chants, their voices rising in praise as they awaited the start of the prayer. Soon, the imam’s sermon began to echo through the mosque, carrying messages of unity, sacrifice, and renewal — reminders of the spiritual journey they’ve undertaken. 

Outside, children darted between groups of relatives and friends, their laughter mingling with the rhythmic beats of traditional drums and the warmth of heartfelt embraces. This day is more than just a religious observance — it’s a reaffirmation of faith, a moment of cultural pride, and a testament to the resilience and strength of Baltimore’s Muslim community.
