What are you doing for EID
 

On the assumption that EID is 6th and 7th of July
What are your plans?

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

first thing I do on eid itself, pour myself a large g&t

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

where have you been all my life? :sneaky::sneaky:

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

and I will definitely be running away, from all the visitors who flock to my house to meet me. People I dont really know nor really care about and who usually dont even call or text me the whole year except when they want to buy something from me and then complain about it later. So they want to show up and bother me and make me get out of my PJs so yes I think it is a good idea that I will run away to RAK and find a beach and dehydrate myself like a champion that I am.
Is there something called an Eid Grinch?

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Giving the mrs a thorough seeing to before she buggers off for a month. :thumbup:

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

First, being envious of all you people for whom Eid will have started; we in Oman have another 24 hours to wait

Second, having a bacon and sausage sarnie for breakfast on Wednesday morning

Third, going out to lunch on Friday where we've been promised roast leg of pork with all the trimmings

Fourth, congratulating ourselves that our pre-Ramadan planning worked and that we didn't run out of anything despite having a pretty hectic, social Ramadan.

Happy days, everyone 👍😎

When do we find out about the moons

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

They'll either see it tonight or tomorrow night...check Gulf News later this evening and hope the committee have their glasses on.

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

right here :p

:rofl::rofl:

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Astagfirullah!! :lol:

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

the 'moon sighting committee' are going to be meeting tonight

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Public sector on leave all week though...so maybe they'll just be busy having fun and forget all about us. :(

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

While on the topic of moon sighting committee
this is what happened a few days ago in Pakistan with this 'supposedly respectable' member of the moon sighting committee with Pakistan's version of kardashian
she is a bimbo of the highest level and a media attention ho but I am SO glad that she took those pics and then leaked them.
He is a giant sleaze ball hiding behind the facade of piety and his beard and I HATE hypocrites like that!!

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Most important question - when is the dry night? Tuesday or Wednesday?

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

would prefer that it starts on 7th! not much chance of that though

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

cant have 31 days of fasting mate
either 29 or 30

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Theoretically it would be tomorrow night until Wednesday night?

With the changes in the law this year, will everywhere have to enforce this?

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Is there a dry night at the end of Ramadan? I don't remember there being such a thing 🤔

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Can’t be a better way to blow the rewards of fasting!!

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

there is no dry night during ramadhan

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

I know, kinda defeats the purpose :blink: Hopefully Him up there won't take away all my brownie points

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Am I am losing it? I thought one of the Eids had a dry night??

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

That's the other Eid....Eid al-Adha...later on in the year...ending the holy pilgrim to Mecca

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

I wouldn’t bank on that if I was you, because the one up there is too particular about everything (judging by the laws of physics he created, where not a single atom goes missing with being accounted for) . But if I was you, I’d rather entertain the idea that sometime in my lifetime I hope to stumble across the holy grail (the enlightenment of the mind and heart) and then catch up with the bad debts (so to speak). It is risky, though , because you are in a race against time with death, and quite so often the latter is cleverer!!

Cough*holierthanthoubullshitagain*cough
Oh please! Who the f*** gave you the right to judge anyone? Have you already got a passport to the promised land? It is knowitalls like you who make my blood boil and here is another one of your kind who thinks he has the answer to it all. Repeat after me : I AM ONLY ANSWERABLE FOR MY OWN SINS!!
THIS is why there is division in Islam right now. Because of basturds like this who are allowed a voice :

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

I am of the school of thought that if you find someone of radical thought or you are aware of someone who might harbor radical views (as the case here), you vehemently and loudly call it out to stem it in the bud if you can or if not then at least make everyone else around you aware of the idiot's radical views. New age thinking this.

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

I actually know the problem that you are suffering from. Your case, my friend, exhibits all the symptoms of a physiological disorder called ‘Identity crises’, quite common among those terribly confused British Asians. I actually may have a therapy for such a case which might be the answer to your prayers. Every time you woke up in the morning, stand up in front of the mirror and repeat this verse:

Hoo-Haa, I an’t conventional, I am a funky muslim…Hoo-Haa..

You can do it on a rap rhythm of choice if you wish. Now, once you do that over a period of one month then your vision of who you are will become clearer. May I also suggest that when you do this exercise you do it away from the attention of the wife, as she may end up filing for a divorce by the end of that month. :lol:

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

come on guys, play nicely...it's Eid :)

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

On the contrary, this guy has actually made my day of Eid. I was longing for a good laugh

Re: What are you doing for EID
 

Still waiting for your answer to my question cupcake. So who gave you the right to judge anyone? As always you will evade the question and try for a humourless pretentious jab.
And again as always I pity the ones around you who have to put up with the likes of you. *sweet smile*
