Eid Mubarak, beloved brothers, and sisters! Through this month, we have been able to see the dedication we can have in our devotion and in our abstaining from that which is displeasing to Allah SWT. Let us take these skills we developed with us onward in our journey. May Allah SWT accept our fasting and allow us to remain steadfast. "Surely those who say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them, ˹saying,˺ “Do not fear, nor grieve. Rather, rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised" (41:30) Instagram/TikTok/ Twitter/Facebook @talkyahaqq Fuad Mohamed IG @fuadalarusi
