Today, ‘Eid-ul-Fitr was announced and celebrated in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This day marks the end of the blessed month of Ramadhan, the month of fasting and the beginning of the month known as Shawwal.

‘Eid-ul-Fitr is not only a time of happiness and gift-giving but also of seeking forgiveness from Allah Ta’ala.

May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) accept our fasts, prayers, supplications and charity and reward us for our good intentions and deeds. May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) give us the strength to hold on to any surge in imaan we felt during the past month and bless us with the opportunity to witness and benefit from many more Ramadhans. After all, there were probably many people who benefitted from Ramadhan and enjoyed the festivities of ‘Eid-ul-Fitr last year but are not alive to witness them this year. Make the most of your time!

‘Eid Mubarak to you and your family!
