Eid Mubarak

Dear brothers and sisters. May Allah accept our fasting during this holy month and grant us more. We hope you all have a blessed and joyous Eid with your families and loved ones. Whether you pray and celebrate at convention centers, ceremony halls, hotels, local mosques, or open fields reserved for Eid events, we hope to see pictures of your Eid celebrations on your blogs, so that everyone can get a chance to see how others celebrate.

However, as we celebrate with millions of other Muslims across the world this Eid, let us remember our brothers and sisters back home and in other parts of the world, who find themselves in contrasting realities to ours. Because of the events that are taking place back home in Somalia and the hardships our brethren in places such as Palestine face, our happiness this Eid is not complete in the sense that a great percentage of our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world are not sharing it with us.

Pray for the unfortunate. Greet everyone with a smile. Invite your non-Muslim friends and neighbors on Eid celebrations and expose them to the beauty of it all. And remember to visit the sick in the hospitals and brighten their day.

Here is a little Sunnah reminder.

"Allah’s Apostle never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of ‘Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas also narrated: The Prophet used to eat odd number of dates." (Bukhari)

Eid Mubarak.
