Eid al-Fitr

-
Hello all!! Today's post is about Eid al-Fitr!!



Eid al-Fitr is an Islamic festival observed by Muslims that marks the end of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr doesn't have a fixed date in our Gregorian calendar and changes every year, depending on when Ramadan starts in our calendar. Celebrations will start tonight but the official date of the festival for this year is tomorrow (May 3rd). Other names include:

- عيد الفطر
- Īd al-Fitr
- Holiday of Breaking the Fast
- Lesser Eid
- Eid
- Sweet Eid
- Sugar Feast
- Eid-Ul-Fitr




Origins

It is believed that Eid al-Fitr was started by the Prophet Muhammad (Praise Be Upon Him)  when he arrived in Medina after migrating from Mecca. It is also a celebration of thanks to Allah for the Qur'an, which was revealed towards the end of Ramadan and to mark the end of a successful month of fasting.




Customs

Some of the customs of Eid al-Fitr include:

- Eid prayers
- Giving gifts
- Charity work
- Eid cuisine
- Gatherings



If any of the information listed above is incorrect or if I've missed anything please let me know so I can ammend it!!


I think we'll leave this here!! The festivities don't begin until the crescent moon is sighted and I wish everyone who celebrates Eid al-Fitr a safe celebration!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

Hello all! Today's post is kind of a serious one. Looking back through some of our previous posts, I have realised that some of the information that I gave is in fact, incorrect ! This post will hopefully set the record straight. The previous posts will still stand to serve as a reminder to always cross-reference and research thoroughly to avoid the mistakes that I made. Correction 1  ROSEMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY HERB!  Rosemary can only be substituted for herbs that it shares properties with. And, while we're here: - Rose cannot be substituted for any flower. Only the ones it shares properties with - Frankincense and Copal cannot be substituted for any incense/oil/gum resin.
