Yesterday (18th August) after breaking fast, everyone were looking for the sight of the new crescent of the month of Shawwal, technology helped us via SMS, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and calls; everybody were inquiring about the new crescent, the crescent has to be sighted with your bare eyes. it makes us more curious... around 8:45 pm I received a SMS by the All Ceylon Jammiyathul Ulama (the official body for crescent sighting) that the new moon for Shawwal has been sighted. my phone started pouring with wishes via SMS and calls saying EID MUBARAK :-)
It's a special day, after one month of fasting, we celebrate our festival, it gives us more joy and happiness. it's our sacrifice of body and soul to obey Allah's commandments. truly it's a gift of Allah for his servants. it's a day where the boss gives the wages for his servants. May Allah bless you with Joy of life and Happiness in your heart. PEACE BE UPON YOU :-)
