I want to Miss eid out

[Aminah 4 Allah]

Assalamu alaikum aaminah,

Inshallah Allah swt will bless all the less fortunate Muslim brothers and sisters in the entire world with nutricious meals. I will make du'a for all and in particular the group you belong to of less fortunate Muslims. Your story has inspired me to make lots of extra food today inshallah and take it to the Masjid in the downtown area of our city that has many poverty stricken Muslims attending it. Inshallah I will bring them some Iftar tonight and some sweets to fill them up. I hope to make Eid special for someone who may have otherwise had a sad day.

Dawahforever you are absolutely right about spending Eid with non-Muslims. It is a great opportunity to make dawah and invite individuals to embrace Islam.

Salams, Aminah

I'm doing it myself since most muslims don't want to be friends with converts.

I can't imagine most Muslims don't want to be friends with converts. Those who don't, surely are not following true Islam. If anything we should be taking them as brothers and sisters and not even friends.

salam you don't have any new muslims friends at your local? Isn't their some muslim organization at your university?

No, not really. There are some, but I'm not close with any of them. I just don't like making friends with girls most of the time so I don't have any close female Muslim friends.

But it's not just friends...even if I had friends, I would still probably not enjoy it because I'm used to my holidays being about family where everyone shares the same tradition, not just people I met a few times or going over to a friends house for dinner. I am going out to dinner with a friend for Eid, but it's definitely not the same as family.

Oh, and the fact that there's no snow on the ground during the holiday totally throws me off

Asalaamu Alaikum

Celebrate with anyone! Yes..its good for dawah..can't find muslims then invite non-muslims..invite your non-muslim family, friends and neighbours..they have so many questions and they will be so honoured. I'm doing it myself since most muslims don't want to be friends with converts. Find other lonely muslims...converts, foreign students, new immigrants who are the only one from their particular country (they are usually snubbed). Don't be alone! Eid means a recurring day of happiness not sadness. If life gives you lemons make lemonade right? Please take my advice...you will be happy you did! A new friend is waiting just around the corner!

Wa Salaamu Alaikum

I think this is great idea. Please try it if you can.

It makes me sad to know that there are wonderful Muslims who won't be able to enjoy on the Eid Day.
Please go to a Masjid no matter how far it is, specially if you could join the Eid prayers. And if the idea given by dawahforever is not workable for you then go to a restaurant, and enjoy.

You guys should have done it a long time ago, you should have gone to a mosque and made some friends by now. If no one had come to you you should go to the Imam and he would announce that some revert want to have some friends. You know people don't know that this person is alone. You have to make them know ... I know friends are no substitute for family members, but this is the next best thing. Please make some Muslim friends... Please.

But I will remember you guys tomorrow on Eid.
EID MUBARAK !

make ur life cheerful...

:tti_sister: o Allah, plese grant happiness to all my brothers and sisters who r celebrating the Eid alone and make them feel that we r all with them in our heart insyaAllah.

i'm thinking myb next time TTI committee can make a gathering at some places for the members for any celebrations. it will help i think for those with no1 to share with. btw, thats how most of the web site at my country do. so that, we get to know each other better insyaAllah. of course, based on the Islamic rules between the girls and guys.

Eid Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters out there. Allah with all of u insyaAllah

:salam2:
I don't even know when eid is. I keep hearing it's Friday, then I hear it's Saturday. Confusing -_-

 

[aseel]

salam!

i'm allone for eid too !
revert and don't have any muslims live in my area!

 

[Bilal Ahmed]

I dont think you lot understand what i ment.

Yes i didnt go musjid 4 the eid pray, and met other muslims brother there aswell greeted them and everthing, then that it nothing else to do family dnt no where they are or where they went, friends well they got better thing to do.

I given up on eid next eid all im gona go to sleep or might stay at work. not going to buy new clothes or anything its just going to be like a normal day of the year.

What i understood today is that no ones cares for each other no more, people have gone all selfish, and they do what makes them happy, they dont care if some one else is left out or all alone as long as they enjoy themself.

No more eid for me, im sorry but eid is just another day of the year nothing big about it.

 

[Bilal Ahmed]

and yes i live in an muslims area lot and lots of muslims there but did any of them ask me to join them for eid NO THEY DIDNT.

 

[BintMuhammad]

Assalamu alaikum,

Yes i didnt go musjid 4 the eid pray,

ummm maybe you meant you did go to the masjid and prayed but after that everyone left you and did not receive invitations? Aww brother, I'm sure they didn't mean to be selfish. People are just so busy and everything during this day, they might have unpurposedly forgotten or prolly they were assuming that you had your own celebration with your relatives

 

[Bilal Ahmed]

im been in this area for about 2 years now, people no who i am, they c me alone every day, and turst me they will know if i had any plans, they are just plain selffish nothing else to it.

I think people are just unaware and assume that you have plans for EiD. Generally this is the problem and you cannot assume they know your exact plans for Eid otherwise they would have come up to and invited you along. In honestly must refrain from this negative attitude and just try to have fun in a hallal way...

[TheKnowledgeSeeker]

Hey, brother you are welcome to swich families with me anytime you want ... in my familiy the holy day it is about family (going out mostly) I hate going out especaily on Eid (very crowd world) so it is hard for me to going out on Eid other than the Eid prayer which i love. My family makes me go. But i must say i am real surprise. I guess i need to learn to be thankful for what i have ... Sorry to hear that and inshallahu you have found way to have fun today. Eid Mabarak!

:salam2:

Eid Mubarak to all of y'all Indeed sad to see people alone. Last year I didn't celebrate Eid and it was my first one. This year though I am going to plenty of places and kind of nervous. I just don't like the whole dressing up thing *shrugs*. I rather spend my money on charities then a fancy new outift that I will never wear again.I like being my modest self

I just want to stay in the bed all day or go sit at the park alone and reflect about my Ramadaan this year, but hey first time for everything.

I will keep all the people who are alone this Eid in my dua.

 

[Aapa]

Salaam,

Allah subhana talla has told us there are two days that He wishes for us to celebrate. He has given us the two Eids. It is our responisbility to attend the masjid and offer worship in the presence of other Muslims.
Do not begrudge those who heighten their celebrations by dressing up. In many cultures it is part of the ending of Ramadan. I love to appy henna and buy bracelets. It is my culture.
Why on earth are you working on a day that Allah has specified for us to celebrate. No company in the US can make you work on a religious holiday. So take the day off. If you work you make it harder on other Muslims.
To the sister who wrote she has a difficult time making friends with other females be careful. We are Muslim women. We do not make friends with men.To the brother who wants to skip Eid think of what you are saying. Do you really want to disobey the commands of Allah subhana talla? By going to the masjid you make a path similar to the others who attend. You have made a connection.
By saying Assalaam walaikum to another Muslim you have made a connection far stronger than mere friendship. You have laid the foundation for eternity.
