Eid is finally upon us!
It's crazy to think that within a few days, Ramadan will be over. This strange feeling can only be described as the epitome of bitter sweet. Ramadan is one of the most wonderful, blessed, and most needed times of the year and seeing it go is like seeing a beloved one leave after a long awaited visit. It's sad knowing you may not see them again, but at the same time, you have spent the past month with your beloved and have grown as a person both spiritually and mentally. Eid is a time to celebrate the fact that Ramadan was such a special time for us. Eid is a time to celebrate and glorify our Creator and be thankful to Him that we were able to witness and experience the holiest time of the year. Eid is just another blessing and mercy from God and it comes after a long month of restraint, commitment, spiritual purification, and deepened introspection. Eid comes as a reminder that God's Mercy is everywhere and truly, He alone is worthy of praise and worship.
Eid is a time for families coming together, for dinners and parties, celebration and fun for the whole family. It's that time of year when we really ought to make a special effort for the young kids in our families. They should be just as excited on Eid as their friends are excited for Easter or Christmas. So go all out!
This Eid, why not opt to take it up a notch, get the family involved, invest in a glue gun, and do everything yourself when it comes to decor, food, and all things prep?
