This year's celebrations will be the first time the community can have bigger celebrations in two years since the pandemic hit.- with traditional recitation of prayers, or takbir, confined to homes as mosques were closed.
The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore also said at the time that there should be no Hari Raya visits or gatherings, encouraging the community to turn to technology for opportunities to celebrate safely.Social gatherings were capped at five people in a group, and households could receive only up to five distinct visitors per day.Mr Masagos said he hopes the community can draw important lessons from this Covid-19 experience to emerge stronger at the end of the pandemic.
He said:"Let us continue the best practices such as taking care of our health based on accurate information like isolating ourselves at home if we are having a fever or flu, just as how we have been disciplined in taking our ablution at home before going to the mosque and perform our prayers in an orderly manner.
"This is how we can continue to reinvigorate salam, and radiate blessings to all. May this be a more cheerful, festive and safer Raya, and may it be a special one that we will always remember."
