by meeting them, tasting their food and sweets and admiring their home set up was something her family was looking forward to.

“We have always celebrated this auspicious festival at home where we expect our families and friends to come and enjoy the meals we have prepared for them,” she said.

She said she had prepared different kinds of sweets beforehand like Khaja, Marshmallo­ws, Peda, four types Barfi, Laddoo, savouries and many more.

Mrs Tasleem emphasised on the importance of Ramadan during Eid.

“For every Muslim, Eid marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Families are excited as the Ramadan period sums up so they can prepare for Eid,” she added.

“The holy month was about reading of Quran, doing prayers, charity work and helping our loved ones.”

She said Eid was more like a reward of keeping the fast during Ramadan not just by abstaining from food and water, but by changing ourselves for good.

“Being helpful, appreciati­ng things and practicing humanity in this world to earn hereafter,” Mrs Tasleem said.

She said she always remembered all her family and friends in her prayers and those who had passed away last year and this year even during Ramadan.

“To those who are well and healthy to celebrate Eid, please do reflect on what we did during Ramadan and practice it all year,” she said.

“If you’re not in talking terms with your family, please take the first step and solve your issues so that you can celebrate Eid with a clean and pure heart.

“Lastly, I would like to tell my parents, husband, kids, brother, sister-in-law and my nephews that I appreciate you all and feel thankful to Allah Subhan Wa Ta Ala that I’m alive and healthy to witness Eid Inshallah (God’s will) with you all.”
