It’s a tradition we have been following since I can remember and it fills me with a deep sense of peace and gratitude. The world seems to get busier every day but this visit gives our family an opportunity to meet and check on each other and see if we are all doing well. Traditions like this are why I love my country and our people. Our sense of family values makes us stronger."
As the occasion is celebrated globally, we wish everyone a very joyous Eidul Fitr. Destress post-Ramazan, and do not forget to keep those who are struggling in your prayers.
