Once Upon an Eid

by S.K. Ali

There are almost two billion Muslims around the world, and we come from many different walks of life and cultures. As a result, the way that Eid is celebrated can vary from family to family, community to community, culture to culture, and country to country. However, what unites all Muslims during these holidays, from the Uyghur community in Central Asia to the Hui Muslims of China to the large Muslim community in Argentina, is our shared faith and shared joy at celebrating this festive day.
