The sermon after the prayer is a mix of spiritual wisdom and gentle reminders to be kind to your in-laws. Expect it to last about 15–20 minutes, which is totally manageable—even for fidgety kids. The imam at Regent Park is known for keeping it real without putting you to sleep.
If you’re worried about getting bored, just count how many people are wearing matching family outfits. It’s like a fashion show—except everyone’s wearing shalwar kameez or a crisp suit.
Don’t Forget the Sunnah Breakfast
After the prayer, breakfast is a sacred event. Some folks head to local spots like Shawarma Empire or Golden Pizza—yes, pizza for Eid breakfast is a thing, and it’s glorious. Others bring homemade samosas and share them in the mosque parking lot like a spicy potluck.
My advice? Grab a kibbeh and a falafel wrap, then sit on a bench in Regent Park and watch the families take photos. Those pictures are going to be legendary—especially the ones where someone blinks.
