Spending Eid Alone as a 3-Year Revert
I woke up today to the sound of families and kids laughing and enjoying each other’s company (I live right across from a masjid), and I just started crying on the phone with my sister. Alhamdulillah, being alone during times like this is a blessing-Allah is our Sustainer and Provider-but it still gets lonely. My Muslim friends are all with their families, and I hope they realize how blessed they are. InshaAllah, I look forward to the day I can wake up and have my own family to celebrate with and see every morning. For anyone else going through the same, what do you do to fill your day on Eid? Also, I’m in the northwest Manchester area, and even though there are many Muslims here, I haven’t had much luck meeting fellow reverts. I’d love to find my own community to relate to, support each other, and be there in moments like this. So if you’re in a similar situation and nearby, let me know inshaAllah 🌺
