Tonight is the night before Eid.

If you aren't going crazy with happiness, if aren't feel really festive because of personal reasons...

Just think....
 Eid isn’t about me, my problems, stress or burnout.

Eid is bigger than I.

Eid is about celebrating the guidance Allah sent us 1400 years ago.

It’s about thanking Allah for strengthening our will power and increasing our discipline in a notoriously selfish and consumerist culture.

It's realizing we are capable of intensive Ibaadah and righteousness.

It's hoping to receive Allah's pleasure. 

It’s about supporting the unity of Muslims. It’s about appreciating the fact that many Muslims who are hitherto strangers, pray Taraweeh side-by-side as if blood sisters, and share suhur together, hear the Qur’an, confess sins, take care of the elderly, poor and needy.

Eid is the smell of sheer-korma brewing the kitchen. 

It’s baking up a storm of recipes.

Eid is hitting the shops and buying presents.

Eid is mendhi.

Eid is churiyan.

Eid is embracing loved ones. 

Eid Mubarak!

TaqabalAllahu minna wa minkum aameen. 

(may Allah accept it from us and from you)
