Happy Eid! Eid Mubarak!
By: Mona
.......................
Today marks the first day of Eid. Ramadan this year was 29 days. Although the moon according to satellites and all the latest technologies was a day earlier then when we started fasting, but we always have to follow the majority. And the majority does not use technology. (Go figure!)
Anyways, today is the Muslim holiday of Eid. It is three days long. We celebrate by visiting other people (which I don’t), eating lots of sweets (yumm!), kids getting gifts, everyone wears new clothes, and eating out or whatever other activity you chose.
Eid Mubarak to everyone!

P.S. My mom’s Eid cookies are amazing this year! YUMM!




Happy Eid to you and to all Muslims
I went this morning to the Eid prayer, what a beautiful prayer!!! Every Muslim gets rewarded for this prayer weither he or she went or not.
Now I’m a little depressed, I took the whole month of ramadan and this week off, it was so relaxing. Starting Monday next week I’m gonna go back to work.
@mohamed
Good Luck. Salaam and eid Mubarak.
I hope you can still remember the way to your workplace!
Eid mubarak mooooooooooooooooooooona!
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. And won’t you be sharing with us some of the cookies that your mom made?
@Abdullah
loool!!! Ya man it’s been a while bro. The plan was to take around 40 days off in order to go spend ramadan with in Syria and Egypt where aunt and uncle are…but something came up and I couldn’t go. If I dont remember I’ll make sure I’ll ask for directions…loooooool!!!
Eid mubarak for yourself and your family.
@mohamed
Wherever you work and whatever you do…it’s an incredibly nice place. Otherwise it’s not really possible to get 40 days off!
Eid Mubarak to you too!
Mubarak !!!
Eid Mubarak, hope you have a good one
Eid Mubarak to everyone!

It depends where you work and you also have to be in good relations with your boss.
Only three weeks are paid, the two extra weeks are not.
Eid Mubarek to you and everybody else who visits here as well.
Eid Mubarak to you and your family!! And what kind of cookies were they? lol
@lela
Yumm!
They were Maamoul or Ma3moul

So how was it?
@Abdullah
it was good it was easy at first (fasting)but then the last week it got hard lol so i have a few days 2 make up 4 (god 4 give me)but it was really good thanks 4 asking salams
@Charlie Hayse
That’s weird! You found the first ones easy and the last ones hard??!!
Anyway, if you repent and you are sincere you will indeed find HIM very Merciful, inshallah.
But for the first time it was amazing! I hope Allah accepts your fasting as well as mine.
haha yeah i fast just 4 a couple of days b4 ramadan (mondays n thursdays)n it was easy caz it was only a couple of days like 1 day at a time so i guess thats why it was easy 4 me first but as time went on it got a bit harder caz i guess it was a long time 4 me n the first time (first ramadan)but inshalah i will make up 4 my few days i brake fast take care n salams
