Following the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan, Muslim believers today celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. The central ceremony for Eid al-Fitr in the Republic of Kosovo is being held at the Grand Mosque in Pristina.
The Eid al-Fitr prayer will be performed at 06:18, led by the Chief Imam of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, Vedat ef. Sahiti. The Eid sermon (khutbah) will be delivered by the Mufti of Kosovo, Naim ef. Tërnava, who will address the wider public with the message of this holiday, according to a statement from the Islamic Community of Kosovo (BIK).
It was also announced that on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, on the first day of the holiday, March 20, 2026, the Presidency of BIK will traditionally host a reception at its headquarters from 09:00 to 12:00.
The Mufti of Kosovo, Naim Tërnava, extended his greetings to Muslim believers on Thursday, ahead of the Eid celebration.
In his message, Mufti Tërnava emphasized the spiritual and moral significance of the month of Ramadan, noting that fasting and prayer help believers purify their hearts, strengthen their connection with God, and cultivate solidarity with others.
He stressed that Eid al-Fitr is not only a celebration of joy, but also a manifestation of the highest human and divine values, highlighting the importance of forgiveness, love, and moral responsibility toward society.
The holiday, he added, comes as a call for peace and understanding, especially at a time when the world is facing numerous conflicts and tensions.
“May this holiday be a source of joy, peace, and hope for all of you and your families,” Tërnava said, among other remarks.
Eid al-Fitr follows the month of Ramadan, during which, according to Islamic belief, believers fast for 30 days as a sign of sacrifice and devotion to God.
