Tell Me a Secret: Eid is coming..

Eid is coming..

It's only few days away..
the longest festival for Muslims...
It lasts for four days, and the ten day before it are some of the holiest...

This chanting you hear (you can't hear it anymore, Eid is over) is what Muslims say and repeat during these ten days and the Eid days, till the noon prayer of the fourth day of Eid.

Allaho Akbar means "God is the Greatest" (most powerful) or something close.

La Ilah Illa Allah means "there is no lord but God" or "nothing and no one should be worshiped but God" or something close to that.

Li Illah Ilhamd means "All thanks are due to God".

Just wanted to share that with you, and wanted to tell you that Najma's project just started, please see if you can help with it.

Oh and, what you say to a Muslim in Eid is " Eid Sa'eed" and it means " happy Eid for you"
:)

Eid Sa'eed for everyone.

Hey, this Athan scared me, I had opened many windows and didn't expect it to come from any.. I thought God was sending me a sign because I delayed my prayer today!!!

Well, I guess it IS a sign, but I'm glad I found out where it comes from :)

Thanks for the advertisement again..

"Eid Sa'eed"

Thanks, you know, I was going to ask you if there was a word in arabic that looked or sounded like "saed". How startlingly pleasant, that it should embody all I hoped it would.

Eid Sa'eed, Khalid! Thanks for the translations. Also, thanks for the sound. I posted the link on an Islam Page I'm starting on my main Web site (http://mimifink.virtualave.net/Islam.htm), and it works.
