O kind-hearted souls…
Here comes Eid, approaching us the way old letters return to our spirits;
gentle, warm, carrying at its edges a touch of serenity
and an abundance of longing for the days that overflowed with joy without effort.
We hope this Eid knocks upon your doors softly,
and finds you at peace with yourselves,
reassured even if life has weighed heavily upon you,
smiling even if the days have hidden long weariness within your hearts.
May God place comfort within every takbir you hear,
an answer within every prayer you whisper,
and within every new morning, a gate to joy that never closes.
Blessed Eid al-Adha to you all,
with the sincerest wishes,
the most beautiful prayers,
and the fullest measure of affection.
-Those who walk the path.
