No family. Typical day. Celebrating on Wednesday, to top it off.

This Eid is going to be fairly lonely. I consider my Eid to be the night of Khatamul Quran.

what do you guys usually do on Eid? Especially since this year it's on a weekday. I could take off from school, but I'm thinking it's better I go than sitting at home.
 
Yeh im with you. Another eid passes. But Allahamdulillah we have food ,drink, and shelter , so i guess we should try be :D
 
Even if I am going places with family, best part of Eid for me is meeting all the brothers at the masjid after Eid salah - loads of unity :shade:

For most people Eid is the same so they don't even bother taking the day off work, but you should do something even with just 1 or 2 family members.
 
My father passed away on the 6th of Ramadhan, so we're all visiting his grave right now
 
People in my place say "Jauh di mata, dekat di hati" (far by eyes, close by heart). Although you are alone in Eid day and far from family, you are still in my and other Muslim hearts.

After many years of going solo on Hari Raya day, today, for me, is a day filled with warmth and laughter. Hark! Do I hear wedding bells pealing in the near distance? :p
 
Today has been great alhamdulillah. We all gathered at our hometown at my mum's house, me and all my brothers and sisters arrived from different cities since few days ago, complete with their children.
My mum and her maid had been cooking up the storm since two days ago, we got up at 5:30 and prepared to go for a shalah ied at nearby field.
After shalah (and interesting khutbah, by an Imam who is a revert and from chinese descent), we went back home and performed "sungkeman" (an Indonesian tradition of asking for forgiveness from each other in a somewhat formal but very touchy way), and then we attacked the dining table!
I got so full from gorging on those lebaran (ied) specialty food (sorry didn't take pictures of the food), and then after a brief rest, we visited our nearby relatives, and later we went up to the mountain to spend the day on a safari-style zoo park and nearby amusement park (with roller coaster etc). I had so much fun time with my nephews and nieces (they are between 5 to 11 yo). All in all, a usual ied day for us which I will never get tired from, and quite a typical ied day for many indonesians.

For me, alhamdollelah as much as possible I like the Eid to be one of the normal days, I want Eid to be peaceful, and it was, my husband & I eat together, we took our nephews/niece outside with their parents and watch them play, eat, etc it was peaceful, alhamdollelah, i hope everyday of Muslim's life is peaceful.Amen

Taqobalallaahu Minna wa minkum shiyamana wa shiyamakum

(May Allah SWT accept it from me and you, my fasting and yours. Ameen).
 
Greetings and peace be with you all,

May you and your family and friends all feel blessed at this special time where ever you are.

In the spirit of seeking spiritual growth.
