Eid al-Fitr – We bid al-wida/goodbye to this blessed month, Ramadan, The Qur’an’s month, the month of siyam/fasting night time prayer and the month of forgiveness/ghufran Ihsan/goodness month, as well as the month of generosity or Karam.
We say goodbye to the month that is home to The Night of the Layla/Night of Power, a month that is the home of Yawm al Furqan (The day of the Criterion, which was marked through The Battle of Badr). Battle of Badr). We say goodbye to the love of Shahrun Mubarak. It is one of the most holy months.
We’re faced with three questions as we bid farewell to Ramadan and the Ramadan season. Do we also bid farewell to the many good deeds that we have done during Ramadan?
Do we continue to practice humility, patience, empathy, compassion, solidarity, and generosity throughout the year? As Ramadan ends, will we allow that spirit and energy of Ramadan to depart from us, too?

Reflection of a Spiritual Wayfarer
Let us all look at the journal of our muhasabah/self-examination and think about what we have accomplished this month.
What benefits resulted from the changes in behavior to be more effective, what positive methods were adopted, and which undesirable habits were discarded?
What was it that made the prayer and fasting practices of Ramadan affect our thoughts and perceptions, and how has it improved our relationships with Allah and our families, as well as neighbors and friends? How did it impact our bodies, hearts, and minds?
Our lives have seen us as spiritual journeyers and as-satin on the transcendent path to achieving religious piety. What did the journey lead us? Are we now better people, more compassionate, more understanding and compassionate?
Are we on the path from self-centeredness to social consciousness, from self-righteousness and self-righteousness to righteousness? What was our first step, and how long have you traveled, If at all?
We have been fasting in the pursuit of taqwa, which is the continual development of the character with the awareness of Allah. It is purifying the self from the ills of deceit, deceitful intent, self-deceit, hypocrisy, egoism, pride, conceit, and cowardice.
It manifests itself in positive attitudes, good behavior, and a loving character. This results in a level of morality, ethics, and spiritual apex to the sanctity of life. The person who has gained from Ramadan will be the person whose situation after Ramadan improves from before Ramadan.

Renewed Commitment
We will come out of the month of Ramadan with a more positive quality of life and a more rounded spirit, awed of our capacity to subordinate our wants to our desires and emotions to our brains and Our lower selves to our higher selves. Ramadan has given us a lot of joy, rekindled our slumbering conscience, and hopefully cleansed our souls.
We have stayed away from the three essentials of life: drinking, food (necessary to survive on a daily basis), and intimacy (which helps sustain our species). We’ve done this without hesitation all day long for the entire month. The day of Eid al-Fitr is nearing.
Every sane soul must be prepared to face the coming year with renewed enthusiasm, determination, unwavering commitment, dedicated enthusiasm, enthusiastic commitment, and a higher level of vision, with a renewed sense of goodwill for all people. Remember the possibility that the next Ramadan could or might not happen; if it does happen, we might or might not be there.
Mindful Celebration
Islam shows us how to be happy through Eid, the celebration that incorporates worship, which brings Muslims together in unity to remember Allah’s bounty and recognize His splendor and glory.
The Eid holiday is an opportunity to do good deeds in a multitude that bring joy and happiness to family members and friends without forgetting those less fortunate.
We begin the ‘Eid celebration when the sadaqat fitr/charity for ‘Eid’ is paid, thus making sure that we remember the less fortunate even before we begin the celebration.
Let their al-Fitr holiday be a chance to cleanse our hearts from resentments and doubt, a time to end hate and anger and a time to show renewed love for loved ones, a chance to create affection among Muslims and a sense of compassion for all. ‘Eid Mubarak!
