Eid al-Fitr Mubarak!
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
"And those who believe and perform righteous deeds, it is they who are the inhabitants of the Garden, therein to abide." (Quran 2:82)
We say: Peace be upon you,
O greatest month of God! O festival of His friends!
Peace be upon you, O most noble of accompanying times!
O best of months in days and hours!
Peace be upon you, month in which wishes are closer to fruition
and good works are scattered all over.
Peace be upon you, just as entered upon us with blessings
and cleansed us of the filth of offenses!
Peace be upon you - How much we craved you yesterday!
How intensely we shall yearn for you tomorrow! "Sahifeh al-Sajjadiyya - Dua No. 45"
