do you guys have Eid holiday in australia........................I know for sure hindus dont have one even when they are 1 percent of Australian population

[@mhgaffney]

Thank you for explaining Eid! I had never heard of it. I had just watched a short video on KZbin. Some Palestinian men in a stopped vehicle were speaking to a beautifully radiant young Palestinian girl standing in the street -- probably about 7 yrs old -- who could not stop smiling. They asked her about Eid and she answered in the negative. I did not understand the meaning - but was touched when they offered her some money. She at first refused. But one of the young men took her small plastic purse and put some cash in it -- then returned it to her. I was so touched but did not understand the significance until I searched and found this video explaining Eid. What an excellent custom!

People's actions determine their character...not their religion, race or belief system.

[@halimesultan4376]

Thank brother your sister mulims in humanity . 🎆🎆

[@user-tg1ij6xp8w]

in Islam there is three things that determine people's character ; 1 their belief, 2 their actions, 3 their patience in islam the reward of patience is even higher than good action, imagine if you became sick and you can't move even from your bed, then you can't do good actions anymore , this is a test from God to your patience, if you keep your faith in that condition, your reward will be better than all people who do good actions

What to know - brought to you by the least trusted news source

[@monkey_d_taha4967]

Take your news from multiple sources. From all spectrums if you will. But you can generally make sense of common knowledge. Eid Al fitr is common knowledge to most of the world… u cant really lie about “What to know about Christmas”, can you? Again, use common sense.
