Bismillah . . .
Twitter Thread for now,
With maybe an exdanded-ish blog story version to come, InshAllah.
Eid Al Adha Mubarak Everyone !
HïMY SYeD / 30 Masjids
We arrived a little bit later than we planned,
Yet Allah (SWT) is the Best of Planners :
We were able to drive into
Sayeda Khadija Centre's parking lot
shortly before Security closed the entrance as the parking space reached capacity.
Alhumdulillah. pic.twitter.com/GUa0k6OkEV

We made a low volume Takbeerat
While walking through the parking lot,
from our car towards
Sayeda Khadija Centre (@Skcentre)
For Eid ul Adha Prayer . . .

About to enter
Sayeda Khadija Centre (@skcentre)
For Eid Al Adha Prayer . . .
But wait, what's that on the side ?
COFFEE.
Afterwards Caffeine.
First, Salat al Eid…

Because we arrived later than we had originally intended,
Finding spots for our shoes on wall shoe racks,
Was akin to finding the parking spot for our car.
We zoomed past the shoe rack,
Parking our shoes by this metal post thingie . . .

Here we are in the overflow & this is how it looks:
Perspective from our Eid Al Adha prayer spot . . .
Unusual for us,
As we almost always arrive early
Allowing us to pray in the first few lines of the primary prayer hall.
Alhumdulillah, we are here in Sayeda Khadija Centre! pic.twitter.com/7jw63r6x2i

As expected,
We all are asked to stand up & move forward
Filling empty gaps in lines ahead of us,
While sort-of unexpectedly hearing,
"Please stand shoulder to shoulder"
As we stood up to form those straight lines.
Haven't heard that at #Eid

Because today is the Eid
corresponding to the Hajj Pilgrimage in and around Makkah,
I chose to bring my prayer mat with Kaaba woven into its design.

While Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi ascends The Mimbar
To begin today's Eid Qhutbah . . .
The Congregation is reciting Takbeerat,
Something Muslims repeat aloud after each Salat
during all of the Three Days of Eid Al Adha.

The Pandemic is NOT over,
But this moment today,
Is the first Eid Day moment
Since the Pandemic began,
That "feels" like an Eid experience from before The World changed…
