We hope and pray that Allah,the Most Merciful, accepts all your worship and fasts that you did this holy month. May He elevate your status, bring you out of all hardships, and bless you with the best in this life and the next. May the Almighty One bless you and all of your loved ones. Ameen.

Some Sunnahs of Eid
Do thesesunnahs for the day of Eid:
- Take a ghusl (purificatory bath)
- Wear your best clothes and adorn yourself moderately with perfume
- Eat an odd number of dates
- To give much in sadaqa (voluntary charity)
- To leave the Eid prayer from a different direction than you came from

Zakat al Fitr Reminder
In either case, please do remember to pay your Zakat al fitr for each person in your household before the Eid prayer. If it is paid after the Eid prayer, itwill be counted as sadaqa and not zakat al fitr.
This can be paid to your local mosque and to organizations like Islamic Relief, Penny Appeal, Muslim Aid, and more that distribute such funds. Please do note that Zakat al fitr is different from Zakat al maal (commonly known aszakat).
