I feel the need… the need for Eid! 😂

Eid Mubarak to everyone! After a whole month of fasting for Ramzan, Muslims are rewarded with the gift of Eid (and feasting!) Ramzan is a month of quiet worship, reflection, introspection, of giving thanks and is meant to set the course for the rest of the year. To be grateful of your blessings, to be mindful of your responsibility as the recipient of those blessings.

In a world that keeps testing our faith and keeps giving us reasons to feel hopeless, Ramzan becomes a significant and a much needed, timely reminder of hope, gratitude, of our responsibility of living and loving well, even in the face of hopelessness. Especially in the face of hopelessness. What better act of resistance to oppression than hope and joy!

May we all carry these reminders in our heart for the rest of the year!

May your Eid be filled with love, peace and joy. And lots of good food!
