Dear Heather: You should visit Pakistan with your children. If that is not possible, communities like Houston, Chicago or New Jersey have lots of functions/festivals which you can visit/participate in. If that is not possible, your husband can be your guide and the internet your community. As always, there is plenty of reading material

Thank you for writing about your eid traditions. I am a married to a Muslim from Pakistan and I would like to know of ways to teach my two children (19 months and 4 years old) about all of the Islamic “cultural” traditions.

Thanks

I didn’t know anything about Eid except that it’s a Muslim festival. Thanks for the info. :) Happy Eid.

Here in America, at least for this year, all the Muslim organizations have banded to announce Eid on the same day - which I think is great.

Who cares about organizations?? Here in Atlanta, Eid is tomorrow at least in the majority of mosques. Caught me with surprise; I wasn’t expecting a Saturday Eid.

That is the night everyone goes out…. I remember ’sepoy’ going out on chand raat with his ‘bandana boys’ on dozen half-naked 125’s with no mufflers in the silencer and racing on mall/jail road till 2 in the morning!!

P.S. My Khucha friend says, ‘ Hum apna eid khud karta hay, kyunkay committe ko chand kabhi nazar nain atta. wo saab jhoot bolta hay!! So we are going to have atleast 3 eids in PK!! ‘again’

eid mubarak. i find it interesting how in some parts of the world ramadhan is of 29 days while in other parts it is a 30 day fasting. They just accounced sunday eid in pakistan, while we had to fast for another day. but look at the bright side. the eid is on same day in pakistan and usa.

I WISH EID TO ALL MUSLIM BRETHERN. THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF EID AND ITS JOYFUL PREPARATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS ARE NOT SEEN ANY WHERE ELSE EXCEPT PAKISTAN.THE RAMADAN HAS ITS OWN BLESSINGS AND EID BEING THE ” REWARD DAY” HAS ITS OWN SIGNIFICANCE.THE HAPPINESS ASSOCIATED WITH EID FESTIVAL TO MEET,VISIT AND TALK TO FAMILY, RELATIVES, NEIGHBOURS, AND FRIENDS IS SO EXCITING
AND WARM. PEOPLE RUSH TO HOME FROM ABROAD TO CELEBRATE EID WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THE MOMENTS OF MEETINGS WITH DEAR AND NEAR ONE`S ARE FULL OF
HAPPINESS AND GLADNESS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO EXPRESS. ASK THOSE WHO PLAN AND RETURN TO HOME ON THIS AUSPICIOUS DAY ESPECIALLY FROM MIDDLE EAST.
I AM CELEBRATING EID WITH MY SONS IN SWEDEN AND ALTHOUGH I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE WITH THEM; I STILL MISS THE ZEAL AND ENTHUSIESM OF HOME COUNTRY. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CALL MANY RELATIONS AND FRIENDS IN PAKISTAN, YET I FEEL I MISS ALOT.
I WISH VERY HAPPY EID TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Hey, is it too wierd for a Christian to wish you all Eid Mubarak? If so, I wasn’t going to. If not, people of the book party on!

don’t know what ‘organizations’ you speak of….here in nyc the afghani guys at ‘halal pizza 24 hrs” were eating on saturday to sync up with the saudis but we, along with our egyptian neighbors and the stray moroccan boy we’ve taken in, held out til sunday. did ten bags of late night shopping for exotics at apna bazaar in jackson heights amid car stereos blaring bhangra and jay-walking saris flapping in the cold wind, came home and hung twinkly lights in the front room. aamir did a kick-ass mendhi on my left hand at 4 am and then woke up and made sayaaawyen (you know, that vermicelli dish whose name sounds like teenagers imitating chinese) and cooked six dishes (incl. the enemy karelas) for six people. just finished the dishes. eid mubarak !
