Prayer for the Day:

“O Allah! Let me maintain ties with him who severs these. Let me grant him his due that deprives me of what is due to me. Let me forgive him who wrongs me.” (Mishkat)

Today’s To-do:

Don’t wait for Eid. Surprise a loved one by dropping off a little-something in the form of food, a gift or even balloons (I’m keeping children in mind) to his house.

Thought for the Day:

Let it be. Follow the sunnah of saying you’re fasting in the face of what could be an argument. It’s not worth it, today or any other for that matter.
