Less than 48 hours....

Will we be celebrating with equanimity or in exuberant manner ?

In less than 48 hours, the sacred month will be another awaited month. Insya Allah. With hope...more Ramadhans to come for all of us. The enemies will be unchained and they will be freed. When they are freed where will we be? Will we still be in slumberland or will we be joining the sacred morning congression to welcome the celebration with HIS blessings?

The following acts are prescribed as Sunnah at the beginning of the day of 'Eid-ul-Fitr before proceeding to the Eid prayer:
1. To wake up early in the morning.
2. To clean one's teeth with a Miswaak or a brush.
3. To take a bath.
4. To put on one's best available clothes.
5. To wear perfume.
6. To eat a sweet food, preferably dates, before the Eid prayer.
7. To recite the following Takbir in the low voice while going to the 'Eid prayer:
"Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La Ilaha Ila Allah Wa Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Wa Lillahi Alhamd"

To my Dear Muslim Friends,
To live, to learn.
To forgive and to forget.
To celebrate at ease and without calamity.
To know you are forgiven and able to forgive...:)

Eid Mubarak to all of you and your beloved ones.
