Eid Mubarak From MUSLIMNESS

Whichever day you celebrate Eid, I and the MUSLIMNESS team make du`a yours is full of blessings. May God shower your celebration with happiness and generosity. Please remember to make du`a for others and continue supporting any fundraising for the current crises in Africa.

3 things to do this Eid,

• Share Eid with your neighbors

Make an extra dessert (something simple like chocolate cake) or cookies and write up a small decorative definition of Eid day. Share this with your neighbors to include the community in your celebrations.

• Encourage little ones to make du`a

Eid day is a day of immense prayer and shukr, gratitude for what we have. Hymn along with children to make du`a a fun event while driving together or before eating:

"Ya Allah, thank you for our food and new clothing. 
Open our hearts towards our neighbors and help us be kind. 
Ya Allah, open the hearts of our neighbors towards us. 
Ya Allah, unite the Muslims in the world to serve Allah's creation to please Him. 
Ya Allah, give Sabr (patience) and freedom to the innocent prisoners and guide those who are at fault.
Ya Allah, forgive us for our mistakes and have mercy on us."

• Follow the Prophetic sunnan for Eid day

1. To wake up early in the morning.
2. Clean your teeth with a Miswaak (or toothbrush).
3. Take a bath and wear alcohol-free perfume.
4. Wear your best clothing.
5. Eat a sweet food, preferably dates, before the Eid prayer.
6. Recite the following Takbir in the low voice while going to the Eid prayer:

“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha ill'Allahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa lillahil Hamd."

Meaning: Allah is the greatest, He is the greatest. There is no god except Allah. He is the greatest. All praises and thanks are for Him.

Eid Mubarak everyone. Alhamdulillah.
