Update (31/3/25 at 5:33pm) Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer at UQ

This year UQ did not give us the usual undercover venue for the local moon sighting Eid Prayer date as it gets confirmed only few hours before. We are trying to get it for future inshaAllah.

Good News that Came Just Now
West End Masjid has now begun doing Eid according to local moon sighting alhamdulillah.

If it does not rain, we will do Eid Prayer at:
Netball Court at UQ
Address: UQ Netball Courts, Sir William MacGregor Drive, UQ St. Lucia
(next to UQ Athletics Track and UQ Tennis Courts by the river)
Takbeer Time: 7:15 am
Prayer Time: 7:40 am

But if it rains on 1st April, we will not be able to pray in the UQ Netball Courts Sports Field. So, if it rains please use one of the two nearest Eid Prayer Venues:

Albert St Musalla:
Level 1, 138 Albert St Brisbane City
Takbeer: 6:30 am
Eid Prayer: 6:45 am

West End Masjid:
12 Princhester St West End
Takbeer: 8:10 am
Eid Prayer: 8:30 am

Important Note:
Doing a small Eid Prayer with few attendees that fit in MFC hall is not right to do in Islam. Eid Prayer is to unite a city or large locality in large space altogether according to the Prophet’s practice and according to Scholars of all Madhhabs. That is why it is not right in Islam to do a small Eid Prayer at MFC with few attendees. Instead if it rains at UQ, please join larger Eid Venue at Albert St or West End Masjid. In future, if UQ allows us the large undercover car park for moon sighting dates, we will resume Eid Prayer there again even if it rains, inshaAllah.

For tonight and tomorrow:
Please check our website for latest updates www.MCatUQ.com

We will email an update again tomorrow morning with rain situation. But if you want to be sure, then one of the two above undercover locations are the best near to UQ.

Jazakallahukhair

Eid-ul-Fitr Mubarak!

Muslims are celebrating this Eid-ul-Fitr on different days in Brisbane. Given that some students have exams and classes on Monday morning and Tuesday morning that they need to attend, we are organising Eid prayer on both the days at UQ, St Lucia Campus. Please feel free to attend the Eid prayer at the following two locations on whichever of the two days you are celebrating Eid on:
