Eid Mubarak 1442H -- Be Grateful, Patient and Consistent

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

As we celebrate Eid, please remember this

Be thankful with what you have

Don't take the blessings for granted

لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor];  (Quran, Ibrahim 14:6)

Be patient when you are tested

In our hearts, we accept the situation as qadr, and work to change it.

Be consistent with your worship and rituals

We just finished a whole month of fasting, continue with the six days of Shawwal fasting, starting 2nd Shawwal, and pray tahajjud every night.

May Allah accept our fasting, our qiyam, our charity and all our good deeds. May Allah pardon us for all our sins and save us from the Hellfire. May Allah grant us good in this life and good in the next life.

Aameen

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
