Eid Mubarak Everyone!

Postby Kuttan on Wed Jan 11, 2006 9:59 pm

Hey there everyone,
It's Eid celebrations today(it was yesterday for some) for the Muslim community, so I thought of wishing everyone an Eid Mubarak (which basically means Happy Eid) :D

To elaborate on what Kuttan said: After Ramadan (a month of fast to commemorate the appearance of the Koran; show god your self-discipline and respect; and to feel what it's like to be poor and hungry) they celebrate Eid. You eat good food and give gifts to your close ones. It's basically having a good time with your your friends and family...

Eid Mubarak to all the musilms (y)

Yeah, this is the sacrifice eid. That's basically why the class of yesterday, I think it was Civil Law, was cancelled. 60% of the class is Muslim so the teacher was like, eh not much of a point eh?

So yeah, basically thanks for getting me a day off & congrats to you folks. (B)

Oops, Muslims don't drink, my bad.
