I start this week's HuffJumuah by saying Eid Mubarak! We thank God Almighty for blessing us with, yet another joyful Eid al-Adha celebrations today. Millions of Muslims are joyfully celebrating their successful completion of their pilgrimage in the Holy sites of Islam as they earned the honorific title of Hajjah (for women) and Hajji (for men). More than billion and a half others all around the world cheerfully glorifying God's names through their Eid celebrations.

Indeed Eids are times for joyous and well deserved celebrations. They are holy times when we get together with our loved ones, check the well being of every member of our community and try to make every one happy. However, it is equally important that Eids are also times for reflection and spiritual growth. They are invitations for us to ponder over the heart and spirit of that particular Eid. What are we celebrating here? How can we make these celebrations more meaningful, more relevant and more rewarding for us and for our loved ones?
