Eid is a time for believers to forgive others as they seek God's forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of letting go of grudges. The document illustrates this through examples of interpersonal conflicts and highlights how forgiving others can strengthen relationships. It encourages acts of kindness, like feeding the less fortunate and embracing reconciliation during the Eid celebrations.

1. Eid is a time for believers to forgive
others the wrongs they have done to
them, intentionally or by mistake, just
as they themselves want God to
forgive their sins in His infinite mercy.

‫أن‬ ‫بالمؤمنين‬ ‫يجدر‬ ‫الذي‬ ‫الوقت‬ ‫هو‬ ‫العيد‬

2. Do you remember that girl
who initially seemed sincere,
but leaked your secrets to the
whole class at school, and to
whom you have not spoken
since then? Hug her on Eid!
Do you remember that aunt
who mocked your dress in front
of everyone at a party, making
you the butt of their cruel jokes
for the night? Go, meet and
greet her on Eid.
No matter how hard it may seem, it is possible to get rid of grudges and move
on, forgetting the bad others did to us despite still feeling the hurt and pain,
and meeting them as if nothing sour ever happened.

3. The best Companion of the Prophet
(PBUH), Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, was
incensed when he discovered that
one of his male relatives, whom he
helped financially, had partaken in
slandering his daughter, A’ishah,
one of the Prophet’s wives, by
fabricating a lie. Indignantly, he
vowed to stop all financial help to
him because of this.
As an incentive to Abu Bakr for
forgiving his relative who slandered
his daughter A’ishah, God asks him
whether he himself would not like
all his sins to be forgiven.
Responding to God’s question, Abu
Bakr said, “Yes, I want my sins to be
forgiven.”

‫بقوله‬" :‫نعم‬,‫ذنوبي‬ ‫تغفر‬ ‫أن‬ ‫يد‬‫ر‬‫أ‬."

4. The same also applies to us as believers. If we
would like to be forgiven by God for the sins we
have done, we should also develop the ability
and strength to forgive others and move on from
past grievances.
Let your relationships flourish after being born
anew this Eid. Start by giving food to the less
fortunate on the night before Eid. Then move on
to forgive and embrace everyone on the first day
of Eid, especially those against whom you have
harbored bitterness in the past. Try it.
Give and forgive!
