It is Eid...let us pray...

Alhamdulillah! Congratulations and blessed Eid to everyone. I pray that Allah will accept our fasts, prayers, alms and thanksgivings. I pray that this Ramadan be a needed rehab and that we'll be able to abstain from needless contrariety, hatred, enmity and ill-feeling.

May we be devoted to the interests of others just as we are to ours, and even if perceived to be at some cost to us. May we be true to the beliefs, standards, qualities, behaviours and virtues that we put on show during this month of Ramadan.

May we not be cruel and unjust in our dealings with others or allow the violation of the rights of others to occur without interference. May the desire to gain self-serving favours or advantages from another not blind us into going against the rights of others. May we always strive to depict that which is real and abstain from deceit and falsehood.

May we be afforded the 'sabr' to endure and see our adversities as trials and tests rather than the evil works of other people.

And one final thing:'Mbubi Julli' must be fit for purpose, i.e. julli (prayer). Anything less than appropriate is 'Mbubi Haram', nonhalal to be precise...I don't have to be a mufti to issue that fatwa.
