More than 10,000 Muslims gathered on Wednesday morning at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan, to celebrate Eid al-Adha with a large outdoor prayer service centered on the theme “Unity and Justice.” Organized by several Islamic organizations, the event attracted worshippers from across the Detroit area. Imam Suhaib Webb led the prayer and delivered a message highlighting compassion, justice, peaceful coexistence, and the constitutional right of Muslim Americans to practice their faith freely.

The event also featured a powerful display of interfaith solidarity. Christian clergy members from across Michigan, coordinated by the Michigan Multifaith Clergy Rapid Response Network, formed a human chain around the Muslim congregation during prayers. The gesture was intended to show support and reject religious intolerance following recent anti-Muslim incidents, including an attack on an Islamic center in San Diego. Organizers said the action sent a strong message that hatred and discrimination have no place in American society.
