We may still be in lockdown due to COVID-19 in most parts of the United States, Canada, and in other countries, but that doesn’t mean we can forget about celebrating `Eid with joy and creativity.
`Eid serves as a time to celebrate and remember the many blessings of Allah (swt). This year it is especially important to reflect on the rare opportunity to express gratitude for the ability to fast and worship Allah, as COVID-19 related deaths swept through the American Muslim community these past few months.
Here’s how some American Muslims share their joy and happiness by capturing beautiful pictures of a joyous and momentous socially distant `Eid this year.
