ALLAH LOOKS WITH FAVOR ON THE EID-AL-FITR OF KALAHARI!
SACRED RITUAL SPREADS GOOD WILL THROUGHOUT KALAHARI!
FORGIVENESS THEN FEASTING FILL ALL WITH JOY!
Kalahari Kingdom invited all Muslims, and all who do not share the Muslim faith, to the Eid-al-Fitr in Kalahari Kingdom. The celebration to end Ramadan proceeded as follows
:
RITUAL BATHING
Women gathered in the Bath house.
Men gathered at the Tavern
CALL TO THE EID TAKBEER – THE ARENA
Minister Magdy presided at our prayer:
Allah is Greatest, Allah is Greatest, Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu
Akbar
And praise be to Allah Wa Lillaahil Hamd
Allah is more Greatest Allaahu Akbar Kabeera
And praise be to Allah in abundance Wal Hamdu Lillaahi
Katheera
And glory to Allah in the early morning and the late afternoon
Wasubhaanallaahi
Bukratan Wa Aseela
There is no god
except Allah , the One and Only
Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu
Wahdah
He fulfilled His promise Sadaqa wa'adah
Helped His servant Wa Nasara 'abdah
Strengthened His forces Wa a'azza Jundah
And alone routed out the clans Wa Hazamal Ahzaaba
Wahdah
There is no god except Allah Laa Ilaaha Illallaah
Him alone we worship Walaa Na 'abudu Illa
Iyyaah
Offering Him sincere devotion even if the
disbelievers hate it
Mukhliseena la Uddeen
Walau Karihal Kafiruun
O Allah, evoke Your blessings on our leader
(Prophet ) Muhammad (pbuh)
Allaahumma Salli 'alaa
Sayyidinaa Muhammad
And the family of our leader (Prophet)
Muhammad (pbuh)
wa 'alaa Aali Sayyidi
naa Muhammad
And the companions of our leader (Prophet)
Muhammad (pbuh)
wa'alaa As'haabi
Sayyidinaa Muhammad
And the wives of our leader (Prophet)
Muhammad (pbuh)
Wa 'alaa Azwaaji
Sayyidinaa Muhammad
And the descendants of our leader (Prophet)
Muhammad (pbuh)
Wa'alaa Dhuriyyati
Sayyidinaa Muhammad
and send abundant peace upon them Wa Sallam Tasleeman
Respectful gatherings of men
and women prayerfully worshipped, separated by a curtain, as the Prophet decreed.
FORGIVENESS
An important part of the Eid, (and indeed of all humanity), is the ability to forgive each other for our mistakes and sins. After the prayer in the Arena, we gathered at the Tavern, and before the Feast, we had the opportunity, as a group, to hear the call for forgiveness, led by Minister Afraa.
Let us gather for a moment, before we celebrate the end of Ramadan, to ask for forgiveness as God encourages us to do.
Loving God, open our hearts today, you truly are present, right here, right now. We are all welcomed to your banquet, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, all other religions, and even those who do not yet know you, to your Kingdom of Heaven which begins now, the present with us.
Help us to be open to your mystery, your truth and touch our minds, our souls as we learn to pray,
As we learn to connect with You,
As we learn to recognize our wrong-doings,
As we recognize the sins we think don’t matter,
As we learn to recognize the importance of reconciliation, of forgiveness in our hearts.
As we learn to forgive ourselves; knowing that we can be healed, cleansed, forgiven.
(Pause for a minute as we think of the wrongs we have done, and ask for the strength not to do them again.)
We thank God for making each one of us special. We thank God for the goodness that is in each one of us. We thank God that each one of us, and all that exists, is being carefully held in God’s hands.
And now, let us enjoy the wonderful feast, and dancing that generous people have prepared for us!
FEAST
A sumptuous feast of Kalahari delicacies was then provided for all, especially the poor, at the Tavern. Sweets were distributed to all children, and the honorary child, Minister Afraa. The celebration was happy, but also respectful, as those who took part in prayer reflected on what they had heard, on the goodness of God, and on their own desires to live better lives as did Dalia, Afraa, and Magdy.
The King was a gracious host, as he offered the wonderful delicacies prepared by Palace Slave Nada to such guests as Kal and Livia Garnet, amidst the lovely decorations she and Magdy constructed to make this prayer event so meaningful:
Toward the end of the meaningful day of deep reflection, the King authorized some quiet celebration of dance, as the day ended in a reverential fashion:
