Today marks the end of Ramadan, the month long fasting from sunrise to sunset. Muslims greet each other with the words “maaf zahir dan batin”, which means “Forgive my physical and emotional (wrongdoings), it is also a celebration of unity. The Eid prayer is to ask for God’s forgiveness, mercy, peace and blessings for all living beings across the world.
In Malaysia, this is a 2 day public holiday but the celebration lasts all month. It is customary to have open houses where friends, families and neighbours are invited to celebrate over food, and this includes non Muslims in a show of unity.
Well, I’m off today to my friend’s open house to celebrate this day with her friends and family.
I wish you all forgiveness for my wrong doings, peace on earth and good blessings xx

In Tanzania I have experienced my first exposure to this month long fast. I encountered it in a spirit of mutual acceptance and respect amongst the Christian and Muslim kids and teachers alike. They also have a country wide days holiday to celebrate the end of the fast. I so love the unity of the religions there and wish the rest of the world could take heed. Intersting, informative and heartwarming post, thanks xxx

I live in a country where my friends are of different religions. It is not them who are tainting the religion.

How kind of you to offer this, at a time when Muslims are so vilified by so many. Cheers.

Je compte les heures
J’attend sans espoir
J’imagine ton sourire
Je pleure d’angoisse
Je m’endors en rêvant
Je t’adore ma chérie ❤ ❤ ❤
