Millions of Muslims around the world celebrated their Islamic Eid on Friday, March 20, 2026, including thousands in Chicago, the largest city in the US state of Illinois. Muslims worldwide show their fervor for their faith and solidarity with their fellow Muslims and non Muslim in world

More than 200 mosques and centers in the Chicago region hosted Eid prayers, but this year's prayers were held in protest of the thousands of Muslims—including defenseless children—who died as a result of Israeli brutality and aggression in Gaza, Palestine, and Iran, which lasted almost two years and destroyed hundreds of buildings and settlements. The local imams and community leaders have decided that a large place should be used for this Eid gathering and prayers.

As a result, a sizable complex called Seat Geet Stadium was selected. It was Chicago's largest-ever Eid celebration, with an estimated 20,000 adherents in attendance. The greatest event, the Eid prayers at Seat Geet Bridgeview Stadium, drew over 20,000 people each year.

Takbeerat was to begin at 9:30, while the Eid prayer was to begin at 10:30. But Takbeerat started on Eid, and people started showing up before 9:00. At Eid Takbeerat, children of Tawheed loudly proclaim Allah's greatness and glory.

People had to wait in line and go a long way after parking their cars in the lot. From there, the trip to the stadium took twenty minutes. There were people crammed into the prayer hall. Most locations in Chicago and its suburbs had to raise their prayer schedules to 8:30 am due to the large number of participants. Furthermore, a few locations offered two or more Eid prayers.

The federal, state, and local administrations issued a special greeting and message for Muslims in honor of Eid.

The United States of America is celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with religious enthusiasm on Wednesday, much like many other countries throughout the world. Every American city, large and small, had Eid al-Fitr prayers, in which thousands of people took part.

One of the state's oldest mosques, the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview, Illinois, is unique in that it broadcasts two of the five daily prayers twice a day. During the winter, it is also permissible to broadcast the Zuhr, Asr, and Maghrib prayers three times a day.

In their prayers for world peace on Eid, the Muslim scholars stressed the importance of the Muslim Ummah's unity, solidarity, and stability. Peace in Palestine in particular.

To facilitate prayer, many congregations ask that members and devotees bring their own prayer mats due to popularity.

Multiple and large gathering prayers were held at the Islamic Center of Naperville, Masjid Al-Huda in Schaumburg, Islamic Foundation in Villa Park, Islamic Foundation North in Libertyville, Muslim Community Center in Morton Grove, and a Many more locations.
