Eid al-Fitr


No, don’t get excited.  I’m not announcing it.  I’m just thinking about the preparations.  I never really thought of preparing for it when I was younger.  Eid was just the prayer after Ramadan…and maybe a brunch.  Other than that, I didn’t actually do much.  Now, with a family of four, Eid is an event.  The kids are getting presents, decorations will go up, and parties will be attended.  Having a Muslim family really does mean something special.  I thank Allah repeatedly for being blessed with a practicing wife and two amazing daughters.

My advice to any young brothers out there: when it comes time to choose a wife, think deeply about it.  Certain physical and even personality traits will come and go, but a sister who is serious about the Deen, someone who has a connection with Allah that cannot be broken, that is priceless and timeless.
