That’s what Hari Raya Aidifitri is for in my humble opinion. Rejoicing the successful completion of our fasting and the battle against our own weaknesses. You don’t know how many people I’ve come across who (wrongly) wish me a happy new year on this day. It’s definitely not the new year (for those curious our new year is the beginning of the month of Muharram in the Muslim lunar calendar). Of course it’s not their fault that they don’t know what this day of celebration is about. It is really up to us to explain it so they don’t repeat the mistake. Then again it only comes once (or twice if you count Hari Raya Aidiladha or Haji which some people get confused about as well) a year so some will most likely forget the next time around…

I’ll have keep this short for now. Busy busy busy busy!

Anyways, do have a wonderful Aidilfitri. “Taqabballahu minna waminkum” to all my fellow Muslim brethren. I beg forgiveness if I’ve offended in any way this past year and at the same time I forgive those who may have done me wrong. Though it’s sad to see the fasting month over, it is a day of festivities so do enjoy yourself. And may we live to see another Ramadhan so we can do it all over again!
