Eid Mubarak!



I purposely chose Friday to place this post, so if this is your first day, second day, or third day of Eid, Eid Mubarak to you. Khalid attended Eid Salaat on Wednesday, Zayd and I prayed on Thursday, and many of our close friends began their celebration today. I love the fact that while some are celebrating, some are fasting, and while some accede to Saudi Arabia, others choose to follow a local sighting. In my humble opinion, it shows that Muslims are not drones,or blind followers. Believers are making their decisions out of conviction, and a strong desire to obey Allah in the way that they see best. What is so beautiful to me is that Allah, in His infinite wisdom, made it that we all overlap, no matter what date you began your celebration.

So, Eid Mubarak to all.

Good point! I was focused on the separation, but over time it did overlap. Allah knows best:)
