Eid preparation

[Feroza_Banu]

^I do Alhamdulilah... I try to wear new clothes every EID. I go to mosque for EID prayer with new clothes...

oh AND i take off of work for Eid days.

[..]

I would love to have lots of recipes especially of sweets that are from Afghanistan, because I have Bake Sales at least once a month to raise money for women in Pakistan. share with me all you can.......I wish I had a lot of Muslim friends, but I do not, just online, or far away.....and I am the only Muslim in my family. So I celebrate alone, well not alone, because Allah blesses me...but I miss the community of others.

So happy to have all of you!

Your Sister Rabia

my cousin sent me my cloths but she forgot the scarf of one and some other part of the other so both are useless to me now. i m going to rip her face off some day.

We do the nakreezi and beauty stuff the night before.

We wake up very early (pray, read Qur'an) and get ready, sometimes we go to the Masjid, boys always go. Then we have guests and all, and we go to visit others, basically, oh and we Eid.. lots! Over the next week there'll be various gatherings and celebrations.

I love Eid!!!!!

First thing comes with hard core cleaning the house... from kitchen to living room to bathroom to bedroom to every corner of the house has to be clean.

Ah, so true. =')

My place toooooo, the dry fruit stuff is done.....god it takes ages to cut but its fun when we all women in the family sit together to work...

new clothes only for Namaz then work in the kitchen, so the new dress is also going to be old...lol

i remember as a child, i and my cousins would make a queue to apply henna on our hands, we always thought that Chand raat means not to sleep at all....just apply henna and wait for eid day.......and surprisingly we never use to feel sleepy on chand raat at all... mumma use to try to put us to sleep but we wouldnt....

we just would be bothered about how much our hands would get coloured with henna....

now no excitement as it was in those beautiful days....only Namaz thats all.......and then work......
