Taqabbal minna wa minkum!
Unbeknown to all worshippers gathering across the courtyards half an hour before Iftar on Thursday, this was to be the last breaking of fast for the blessed Ramadhan of 1428 here in the Kingdom.
And in this most Mubarak City of Truth and Light, the fences surrounding the courtyard of Masjid Nabawi decorated with the belongings of the thousands sitting in I’tikaf, were soon relieved of their storage duties.
An estimate of more than five million flooded the Haramain for the Khatm Al-Qur’an, SubhanAllah! This scan from Arab News reveals the awesome scene of The Blessed House totally surrounded by worshippers gathered for this momentous culmination of a month devoted to Allah Almighty Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.
Once the shock reality of no Taraweh Salat on Thursday after Esha descended, the huge crowds seemed reluctant to disperse. I felt transfixed in some wierd dimension, unable to comprehend the sudden departure of such a welcomed guest that had adorned my life for a month. A noble guest bringing noble lessons of abstinance and restraint on the one hand, contrasted with priceless jewels of such deep hues of devotion on the other. May all the blessed gifts we have been presented with throughout this Ramadhan continue to create blooms of beauty and peace, enriching the collective heart of the Ummah. May the serenity and tranquility that comes with the most loved guests remain with us until the time comes for us to fling our arms open for the next visit. Ameen.
Eventually Al-Madinah was transformed into a giant celebratory arena. These young girls took advantage of "aunties" applying henna decorations, while thousands thronged to souks opened all night, shopping for Eid outfits and presents.
Khutbah messages within the Kingdom, and other happenings!

dear friends and readers Ameen thumma Ameen to your warmest of wishes and Du’a….sorry…I need the dreaded wooden spoon for being so “absent”….it has been such an amazing time here that the allure of a computer screen lost all its appeal! Alhumdulillah all on my list for Salam and Du’a have not fallen into this same melee.
Wassalamu alaikum
