eid! eid eid eid! the waiting for the moon to appear and the last minute frenzy when it does. the food and the beautiful clothes. the hugs and the presents. holding hands with your nearest and calling those further away from you that are your dearest. the smell of attar and the smiles of joy. you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at this moment but here. hands full of mehendi and plates being filled with second and third servings. there is no holding back today. remembering those who may not be with us anymore this eid and seeing a little one celebrate their first eid. feeling gratitude for all that you have in this moment around you and giving something in charity to better the life of someone else. feeling a closeness to Allah that He has gifted you this blessed day to rejoice to your heart’s content for the entire month’s worth of sacrifice and ibaadah you have made, whether that’s sleep or hunger and thirst or dropping an old habit or starting a new one, during Ramadhan.
however it is that you’re celebrating, eid ul fitr mubarak to you all!
A special Eid Mubarak to all my Muslims around the world. I hope this day is filled with endless blessings and happiness. Please pray for Muslims in Afghanistan, Kashmir, China, Yemen, Palestine, and other places where they are unable to celebrate Eid. May Allah grant them safety and ease their sufferings. Ameen.
Eid Mubarak to you and your family. Enjoy a blessed time during this Eid ul-Fitr and may your day be filled with your family’s joy, and your aunties baklava
eid mubarak to all those who are celebrating this beautiful holiday. may Allah bless you with sincere happiness and inner peace, bring an end to your struggles and heartache, reward you for all of the sacrifices that you have had to make in order to stay afloat, and grant you the glad tidings and relief that you have been waiting so patiently for.
