Eid Around the World
Ibn Abbas (ra) narrated:
'When the day of Eid al-Fitr [begins], the angels descend on earth, where they take their positions at access points of roads, calling out with a voice that is heard by the whole creation of Allah, except men and Jin, "O Ummah of Muhammad (saw)! Come out to your most Noble and Gracious Lord, who grants much, and pardons the major sins".
When they (the Ummah) proceed to their places of prayer, Allah, Exalted is He, says to His angels, "O My angels! What is the reward of a worker when he has done his work?"
So they (the angels) say, "Our Lord and Our Master! To receive his reward [for the work, in full]".
So He [swt] says, "I call you to witness that, for their fasts [during Ramadan], and for their standing in prayer at night, I have made their reward My Pleasure, and my Forgiveness. Depart [from here], you are forgiven"'. [Lataif al-Ma’arif]
SubhanAllah, the day of Eid al-Fitr is an incredibly special occasion - and the perfect chance to share our blessings with the worldwide Ummah! Here are some of the ways you brought joy to our brothers and sisters in Eid al-Fitr 2021:
Ma sha Allah, you also donated to our bread factories, building houses for IDPs in Syria and our massive water project in Aden (Yemen) - so your Zakat and Sadaqah will be saving lives long after Ramadan has passed, in sha Allah!
Many of our generous orphans sponsors sent a child a gift to let them know they were thinking of them.
We also had group Eid distributions in Malawi (pictured above) and Mauritania. We hope these boys enjoy their Eid presents for many months to come!
SubhanAllah, you brought joy to so many children across the globe over the blessed days of Ramadan and Eid! Pictured above, children in Sri Lanka present their beautiful, handmade Eid cards to thank you for your generosity and wish you Eid Mubarak!
We pray Allah always keeps these children smiling - and that one day, their smiles are the reason you walk into Jannah through the Door of Joy, amin!
The Prophet (saw) said, 'He who does not thank the people is not thankful to Allah'. [Abu Dawud]
On behalf of the team at Muslim Hands, and all the beneficiaries around the world, we’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you!
We encourage you to continue giving regularly after Ramadan, as Allah loves for us to be constant in our righteous actions! Here are some perfect causes for regular giving:
We pray Allah accepts our Ramadan efforts and enables us to reach next Ramadan, amin!
