Home, family and friends

Peace be upon you. Today's date 24th May 2020 is equivalent to 1st Syawal 1441 Hijriah in the Muslim calendar. It is 1st day of the Eid celebration. So today I want to present a category most apt for the occasion.



The festive month of Syawal and the subsequent Eid celebration is mainly about connecting or reconnecting with family and friends in home environment. As such this category is about events or happenings related to home, family and friends.
