I am delighted to introduce you to Zeyna Sanjania. A British mum in Dubai, I have followed her expat adventures on her blog “Mummy on My Mind” since she first started writing and seen her amazing journey from anonymous blogger to revealing so much about herself – motherhood, religion and especially her journey to becoming a Hijabi.
I have invited her to guest post today to explain in a way I simply can’t as an “outsider” the Islamic celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr – which has started on 25 June 2017 in the UAE at the conclusion of Ramadan.
This post is part of our series Discover the UAE
Eid-ul-Fitr. An occasion of happiness and celebration that is a three-day feast. Celebrating the fact that you just fasted for an entire month, not just refraining from food but also from bad habits that cloud spirituality, in the hopes to renew one’s faith and grow closer to Islam.
