As-Salaam Alaikum, We have all been blessed to gather on the ‘Eid day in safety and security. We should never forget those who are gathering in the shadow of tanks and cannons. We should never forget those noble men, women, and children whose ‘Eid Salat could be interrupted at any moment by a shower of tear gas or bullets. Our Mercy to them lies in our transcending the oftentimes petty and trivial differences and issues that divide us in order to become a unified, viable, and positive force of change and sanity in this world. On this ‘Eid day, we will enjoy the blessings of ample and variegated food. We should never forget those Muslims who literally know no Iftar. For many Muslims, daily existence is a continuous fast. We should constantly be thinking of meaningful ways to improve their lot. However, we should also be asking ourselves, Have we adequately expressed our thanks to Allah for the many Blessing He has heaped upon us? Now, Allah’s Messenger (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam) has informed us that those who have fasted and stood in prayer at night during this month, with sincere faith, anticipating a reward from Allah, have had their sins forgiven. Should we not be thankful servants. And should we not love to express that thanks as our Messenger Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam) expressed it. Namely, by continuing to be diligent and dutiful in our worship of Allah. Yes, blessed Ramadan has ended. However, its passing should not witness the end of our exertion in worship. We should continue our night prayers, and we should fast voluntarily, at least three days each month, after the six days of Shawwal. This Din is the embodiment of all virtue, the epitome of all goodness. Don’t let your share of this good be that it begins and ends with Ramadan. ‘Eid Mubarak! #Eid #EidMubarak
