Eid is not just about new clothes, delicious food, and exchanging gifts/eidi… It's also a time to remember the Ummah—the whole Muslim community—and reflect on our shared values of compassion, kindness, and unity as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us.

For Muslims, Eid holds a special place in our hearts. It's a day filled with excitement, anticipation, and the warmth of family and friends. From waking up early to getting ready and making it to Eid prayers with your family at 7 a.m., Eid is such a beautiful moment that cannot be missed.

But let's take a moment to think about our brothers and sisters in the Ummah who may be facing challenges and hardships. Eid is an opportunity for us to extend our hands in generosity and support, whether through acts of charity, volunteering, or simply reaching out to those in need.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Eid is its ability to bring people together, regardless of background or nationality. In a world often divided by differences, Eid serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the bonds that unite us as Muslims.

So, as we celebrate this upcoming Eid al-Fitr with our loved ones, let's also remember those who are less fortunate and in need of our assistance. Let's embody the spirit of giving and compassion that defines our faith and strive to make a positive difference in the lives of others. It's a time to reaffirm our commitment to our faith and the values Islam embodies. Let's embrace the true essence of Eid by spreading love, kindness, and goodwill to all, and may the joy of this special occasion lighten our hearts and homes always. 

Eid Mubarak to all, and may this Eid be a source of blessings, happiness, and peace to you all!
