eid

What should be the most celebrated time for Muslims can sometimes be the most predictable. Change up your schedule this year to include something new, fun, and exciting to make the holiday memorable.

Part of a successful and happy Eid is planning ahead for how to celebrate our wonderful holiday. Here are some things to keep in mind when developing an Eid day plan to make it fun and festive.

The key to a successful relationship, including between parents and teachers, is communication. This is why we've drafted this sample letter you can send to your child's teacher asking permission to take the day of Eid off from school.

While Eid should be a time of joy and happiness, it is also a time for prayer. Muslims should remember to share the pain of their suffering brothers and sisters everywhere on this blessed day.

How can we build Muslim unity in one day? Of course, none of us can perform such an awesome task in 24 hours, but we can take small, meaningful steps to work towards that goal, especially on Eid day.

For Muslims who live in an environment where Eid is given little, if any, recognition, it's the responsibility of families and communities to make sure the holiday is fun, exciting, and memorable for all, especially kids. Here are some ways to do that.
