Eid

Our Eid was unfortunately one of the drabbest Eids I’ve ever lived through.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not down about it or complaining.  I’m just stating a fact.  I was in bed, with a starting-to-heal tooth-place?(I mean the tooth was taken out .. so I can’t exactly call it a tooth).  And my family did not feel like going to Eid prayer alone.  So there we were, all nice and cozy in our home, on Eid

Ofcourse there was the usual two camps of Eid celebrations.  It’s happened for so long that you’d think us Muslims would be used to it by now, but nope, every year it is almost like a little electric shock: oh no! tWO?? Eids. 

 Alhamdulillah, I called some my cousins to wish them Eid. That made me happy since I felt like I did my little part in keeping my ties of kinship. 

Now here’s a little something which was quite pleasant.  Starting several years ago, almost every night before Eid, I’d be found on islam-qa.com reading about various things we were prescribed to do or not to do on Eid.  But this presentation by Ustaadh Muhammad AlShareef was nice and sweet and to the point, summing everything up in two minutes!
