Peace be upon us all!
Just bumping this thread up to let y'all know that we are in the evening of the last day of Ramadan, inshallah! (Evenings begin days, btw.) In North America, tomorrow, Thursday, will be the lst day of fasting, and Friday will be Eid ul Fitr, the Feast of the Breaking of the Fast.
On this day, Muslims join in the morning for a special prayer and sermon. Some share gifts. In our community, brothers and sisters welcome one another into their homes for company and refreshments. It is one of the two most special holidays in Islam.
The last 10 nights of Ramadan are special nights, during which we exert extra effort in prayer. One of these nights, filled with prayer, is better than a thousand nights.
I've invited my family for brunch this Sunday, to observe the end of the fast, and to include them in our practice. I plan to give my holiday gifts on that day.
And I am a little excited to wear my special blue velvet djellaba for the prayers.
Eid Mubarak--may Allah accept prayers and fasting from you and from us!
