Eid

Eid-ul-Fitr morning is a special time, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. On this day, Muslims are required to eat before they leave for the Eid prayers. A month of fasting has trained the body and mind to not eat after Fajr (morning) prayers.

There is less than a week before Eid. You can eliminate last-minute stress and accelerate the festive part of our holiday by making plans for Eid in advance.

Every year when Eid-ul-Fitr is just around the corner, children start talking about the celebrations and eid planning and eid ideas in their friends circle or on social media in their group chats.

We all agree that Eid is the most wonderful time of year. Muslims who are new converts to Islam anticipate the Eid with a mixture of wonder and uncertainty.

Muslim soldiers will typically fall into three categories: They are children of Muslims living in America who have joined the military; they are people in the military who have converted to Islam; they are Muslims from other countries who are currently training or temporarily assigned in America

Eid is so important for Muslims religiously and culturally that more people come out to pray than at any time else in the year. But alas this Eid we will not be able to pray together and meet people who we have not met in a long time, we will offer Eid prayer at home.

We may still be in lockdown due to COVID-19 in most parts of the United States, Canada, and in other countries, but that doesn’t mean we can forget about celebrating Eid with joy and creativity; we will be celebrating Eid in quarantine.
