SJR129,1,1
1
Relating to:
recognizing the holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in Wisconsin.
SJR129,1,3
2
Whereas, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, collectively known as Eid, are the two
3
major Islamic holidays; and
SJR129,1,4
4
Whereas, Eid translates to “holiday” or “festival” in Arabic; and
SJR129,1,5
5
Whereas, Islam is one of the world’s major religions; and
SJR129,1,7
6
Whereas, the first day of the 10th month of the Islamic calendar is globally
7
recognized as Eid al-Fitr; and
SJR129,1,10
8
Whereas, Eid al-Fitr celebrates the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan,
9
during which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, practice spiritual reflection, exercise
10
self-discipline, and gather in community; and
SJR129,1,12
11
Whereas, the 10th day of the 12th month of the Islamic calendar is globally
12
recognized as Eid al-Adha; and
SJR129,2,2
13
Whereas, Eid al-Adha marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah, when
14
Muslims commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to show devotion
1
to God, as referenced in the Quran, the Old Testament, and the New Testament;
2
and
SJR129,2,5
3
Whereas, these holidays shift with the Islamic lunar calendar by
4
approximately 10 to 11 days each year in accordance with visual sightings of the
5
new crescent moon; and
SJR129,2,8
6
Whereas, the majority of Wisconsin’s 70,000 Muslims celebrate these two
7
major holidays every year by attending community prayer, enjoying rich and festive
8
meals, and spending time with friends and family; and
SJR129,2,10
9
Whereas, all Wisconsinites can take meaningful actions to recognize Eid in
10
support of the diverse Muslim community in our state; and
SJR129,2,14
11
Whereas, state recognition of Eid will highlight the holiday to schools and
12
employers to underscore Eid’s religious and cultural importance to Muslims across
13
the state, potentially enabling Muslim students and employees to fully observe
14
their two major holidays; and
SJR129,2,16
15
Whereas, Eid provides an occasion to foster a more welcoming and inclusive
16
state by uplifting the Wisconsin Muslim community; now, therefore, be it
SJR129,2,19
17
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
18
Legislature hereby recognizes the holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in
19
