Eid mubarak to all my cousins in faith. May Allah bless you and your families.
I posted this elsewhere, but I hope you don't mind me posting it in this thread too.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has sent his annual greetings to Muslim communities for the festival of Eid Al-Fitr on Sunday August 19th, marking the end of Ramadan.
To Muslim friends and fellow workers on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr 2012
It is a joy once again at Eid al-Fitr to send this message of warm good wishes to Muslim colleagues and communities, and especially to those friends and colleagues with whom Christians have enjoyed working together over the past year. During the long summer days this year the month of fasting has been particularly demanding. I trust that it has been a time of rich blessing, and that Eid will also be a time of joy and sharing.
As many of you will know, these are the last Eid greetings that I will be sending to you before I leave the position of Archbishop of Canterbury to take up a new role at the University of Cambridge. It was a moving experience recently to meet with members of the Christian Muslim Forum and to say a formal goodbye to this organisation which has done so much since its beginning in 2006 to foster deep relationships between our communities.
As I look back over the last ten years, it is clear that our relationship as Christians and Muslims has grown and deepened. It has not been an easy time, and there are huge challenges that we still face together. Nevertheless, we have learned how to quarry together the resources we have of a vision of human beings honoured before God. The word honour, I believe, is one we should learn to use more freely, and even extravagantly, when we talk about our human world. We honour human beings because God in his creation and in his dealings with human beings honours them.
In practical terms this honouring has meant that Muslims and Christians have been working as never before in international development to serve the world’s poorest people, and I want to recognise the huge amount of financial giving that the Muslim community pours out during Ramadan especially. It has also meant at a local level that Muslims have shared with Christians and others during Ramadan in service to their communities through the ‘A Year of Service’ initiative, in the ‘Near Neighbours’ programme and in many other ways.
I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had in these last nine or ten years of growing into a fuller knowledge of our relationship as Christians and Muslims. I have been privileged to be welcomed to a number of great Muslim contexts and institutions around the world and have found myself stretched and challenged. I have found it a great gift to be a small part in the mutual discovery and intensifying of relations here in the UK, and I am aware that we are modelling something here that is creative, fresh, honest and deeply hopeful. I pray and trust that the years ahead will see a deepening of these bonds and an even stronger witness to the whole world of real possibilities, of friendship and understanding and simple delight in our neighbours.
May Allah accept our fasts, our standing in the night, our duaa, all our good deeds that we performed in this departed month and give us the very best in this life and the next.
Ameen thumma Ameen.
May Allah give us all the ability to keep up the good deeds for the rest of the year. Ameen.
Now that, is coooool :) Eid Mubarak to you too, sister Glo :)

Oh Eid! You are a gift from our creator God
You excite in us the joy of eager
You bring us together with our relatives and friends
You overwhelm us with mercy like a streaming well
It's our habit to visit people so kindly
No hatred, no bitter feeling, no arrogance at all
We get up by your greatening the generous every year
And the couple may return hugging
The disputers may reconcile
And the children joy, fly into the horizon!
Overwhelmed by the happiness at home and the markets
The children and the adult are in such a race
Joyful with what is like the kohl in the eyes
Seizing a tasty opportunity
May Allah maintain their happiness
And make us always meet
Do not separate us as separation is bitter
It's so good to see these type of threads. I feel so happy, all the members wish each other. I hope everyone's eid goes well. :D Inshallah I;ll pray for everyone :statisfie
