Thank you Musa

As usual your contributions are timely

We here in the Wash area will have Eid on Thursday nov 3 rd inshallah but as usual there will very few who will do it on friday because they did not see the moon although it would have ben three days old then

There is an old mandinka saying (and this is said as just humour and no prejudice) that asks :

how can one welcome a guest that you have not seen ?? it the guest being the moon !!laugh

well good night and Eid mubarak in advance to all our brothers and sisters world wide , to muslims and non muslims alike . May we meet next Ramadan in good health and wealth, Inshallah
