Once Upon an Eid

by S.K. Ali

“Anytime you share something you love, it comes right back to you like a boomerang. You never lose it. Just wait and see.”

“There are a lot of ways to show our faith and love to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. You pick the ones that are right for who you are right now.”

“If we can be strong enough to resist the stuff Allah has allowed, it makes it easier to resist the stuff that’s forbidden. I know Ramadan makes me appreciate the things He gave us that I usually take for granted, like food and water.”

“It’s hard to see the beauty in things when you can’t see past your insecurities.”
