Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
Is there any activity in your masjid after the eid prayer?
Maybe you can stay and join them?
Is there some sort of muslim community from your homecountry where you can join?
When I was studying in Australia, the indonesian muslim community would organize a barbeque after sholat ied, so we always had people around to talk to and enjoy the food.

What? You are now doing Job? So bad of you, Mr. president! Just relax.
I had many such Eids and did not had any internet or any other thing to spend time with but still never felt lonely(I had friends and other relatives in the same city but would not take more than 2 hours and finish meeting with them all ). I was a bit worried when on an Eid got seriously ill and no one was there to attend me. I could not even get up to pick a bottle of water from fridge.
I like the idea of br. naidamar that try finding a masjid with collective qurbani / Zabiha activity and offer your services for free they will be more than happy.... you can at least give them drinking water when they feel thirsty while working on cows
I think calling back home is costly from UAE. Alternate, read some books or go to bed and depreciate your sleep :X
Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
This is my first Eid away from home too. To make matters worse I have to go university tomorrow. My flat mate is a Muslim but she wants to do something else.

Eid Mubaraak!
tx for sharing tilmeez
The problem is since I don't know arabic I don't think I can participate and help another thing
if its a south asian country I know how they do things ... i mean qurbani and alll but I don't know how they do it here
Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
prof, this will be my first eid away from my family as well. i can sympathize how you feel.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
do you have any friends around there who are alone too? maybe you can meet up with them?
see whats going on in the masjids after salah, they might have something going on for everyone

Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue... and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
Use this as a time to reflect upon the meaning of Eid ul-Adha. Sometimes solitude and away from family and friends gives us a chance to remember Allaah(swt) to a higher degree.
Do not fret over what is missing, look instead at what you have and take the opportunity to celebrate eid with piety. the chance does not always occur and this could be your last opportunity to Celebrate eid with Allaah(swt) alone.
Re: my first eid without any family or friends A LONELY EID
Just like grandpa Woodrow said,take this time and use it wisely,some Muslims celebrate Eid excessively and forget about Allaah,this is a great opportunity to get closer with Allaah and do your best.
Otherwise you always have the forum and us(the members),insha'Allaah we will always be there for you.Eid Mubarak to you and all the other Muslims.
