Good Morning
Every Friday is like a mini Eid for Muslims and they begin sunset on Thursdays through to sunset on Friday.
One of the things I do every Friday is recite Surah Kahf.
This is a special surah that provides protection and light to the reader. It is highly recommended to do this every Friday, and it gives me a much needed feeling of hope and safety. Especially amongst the uncertainty in the world post-pandemic and conflict.
One of the stories in this chapter of the Quran is about a group of people who hid in a cave fleeing persecution. They were kept safe from their persecutors in the cave due to the mercy of God.
The other things Muslims like to do on Eid is dress up, wear perfume and get ready for the weekend! This is more celebratory on Fridays in Ramadan as Muslims anticipate our big Eid at the end of the month.
In the name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and he is All-Hearing and All-Knowing.
I pray for our protection.
Ameen
Peace and blessings be upon you.
