    [CAIR Board Member] Jimmy Jones, one of the founders of Masjid Al-Islam, said the celebration is an opportunity for families to extend a neighborly hand in the community. "Something people don't understand about Islam is neighbors' rights," Jones said. "A Muslim should not go to bed when his neighbor is hungry.
