Yasmeen Rahim Illustrated by Omar Burgess

Hassan and Aneesa look smart in their Eid clothes.

They are on their way to the Eid prayer.

“Why are we going to the park?” asks Hassan.

“That is where we will pray,” says Mummy. “The Prophet Muhammad would perform the Eid prayer outside.

It is nice to follow his example.”

Aneesa can hear lots of people up ahead. “What are they saying?” asks Aneesa.

“They are saying the Eid takbir out loud before the prayer starts,” says Daddy, “let’s go and join them.”

The Eid prayer has finished and everyone is sitting quietly. Only the imam is speaking.

“Allah likes it when we give money and food to poor and needy people. They should enjoy Eid too. We can also share food with friends, family and neighbours …”

Hassan listens carefully to the imam.

“Eid Mubarak!” Mummy says to Aneesa after the khutbah.

“Eid Mubarak!” Aneesa replies with a big smile. “Let’s find Daddy and Hassan, I want to say Eid Mubarak to them.”

They walk across the park. It is bustling with people celebrating Eid. Mummy spots Hassan and waves.

Daddy says goodbye to his friend. The party will start soon and they need to get home.
