Eid is the most fun festival of Muslims around the world. It's a blessing alhamdulillah. Family and friends are all in a festive mood and arranging reunions over lunches and dinners. A couple of sisters arranged for special Eid treats for their families.
Eid Sweets & Treats
Sr. Almas Akhtar, from Milton, Keynes, makes cake pops. She runs the "Scrumptious Pops" page on Facebook. You can join in her delicious creativity at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrumptous-Pops/209343185771761 She baked a gorgeous Eid cake that she was happy to share the photo of with us.
This is beautiful, mashAllah! She takes personal orders and makes gift baskets as well. So, if you're in the area and you need to add some spark to that birthday bash or a tea party, Sr. Almas is the one you need to call. Check in on her Facebook page for more info!
Another one of my friends, Little Prince's Mommy (as she calls herself), set out a delicious Eid table for her family and friends. There was cake too! Alhamdulillah!
I was going through my Facebook feed and came across a beautiful message by Sr. Ghazala. She wrote:
"Day 4.5 without electricity. At least the gas came back. Alhamdulillah for having water though. Alhamdulillah for a lot of things. You don't realize how much you take things for granted until you lose it. People around the world don't even have homes, running water, or electricity, or food as it is. Or all living in poverty or drought. Be grateful for your blessings and thank God."
This got me thinking of the people in Somalia where new zones have been added to the list of emergency areas of famine and drought. I Googled and found out how they celebrated their Eid. It brings tears to the eyes to see how they're getting their holiday food from aid camps.
Be thankful! Each minute and say alhamdulillah at every little joy in life. It could have been you in that queue today on Eid. But Allah (swt) planned otherwise. Alhamdulillah.
LaDecence Hijabs & Accessories Eid Fest 2011
LaDecence inaugurated a fabulous Eid Sale, 20% off, on all their merchandise to celebrate Eid. News went out, announcing the sale, on their website www.ladecence.com
MashAllah, they sold out a lot of popular scarves, brooches, and teekas. Congratulations!
After Chaand Raat (Eid eve) the sale was reduced to 10% and is still running on their new stock while it lasts. Grab your September Prints, ladies!
Imam Safi Khan at the Dar-us-Salaam mosque in Maryland made a beautiful dua'a on Eid that I wish to share:
"May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make this a wonderful Eid for you and your family. May He accept your praying/fasting and may He keep your Iman strong. May He bless you with the guidance, motivation, courage, strength and determination to maintain your Taqwa. May He endow you with ever higher levels of Iman, Taqwa, & Tawakkul. May He inspire you with new ideas and creative solutions to our ummah's trails. May He grant you Jannatal Firdaws. TaqabbalAllahu minna wa minkum."
