Happy Eid Al-Adha from besieged South of Damascus =D
Here are children playing in the playground in Eid, which is four days of happiness for muslims all around the world.
Playgrounds in Syria can not be listed as safe places anymore after Assad's
Army attacked a playground in Al-Wa'er neighborhood in Homs state yesterday the 26th of September. Which caused death to 23 civilians most of them were children.
Despite the harsh circumstances in South of Damascus; over than three years of siege and continuous shelling, despite that, people are trying to hunt happiness from rubble.

Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr
The month of fasting
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Islam uses a lunar calendar—that is, each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar used elsewhere, Islamic holidays "move" each year. In 2015, Ramadan begins at sundown on June 18th.
For more than a billion Muslims around the world—including some 8 million in North America—Ramadan is a "month of blessing" marked by prayer, fasting, and charity. Ramadan focuses on self-sacrifice and devotion to Allah (God).
Why this Month?
Muslims believe that during the month of Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. Around 610 A.D., a caravan trader named Muhammad took to wandering the desert near Mecca (in today's Saudi Arabia) while thinking about his faith. One night a voice called to him from the night sky. It was the angel Gabriel, who told Muhammad he had been chosen to receive the word of Allah. In the days that followed, Muhammad found himself speaking the verses that would be transcribed as the Qur'an.
At many mosques during Ramadan, about one thirtieth of the Qur'an is recited each night in prayers known as tarawih. In this way, by the end of the month the complete scripture will have been recited.
Fasting
Muslims practice sawm, or fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan. This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam. As with other Islamic duties, all able Muslims take part in sawm from about age twelve.
During Ramadan in the Muslim world, most restaurants are closed during the daylight hours. Families get up early for suhoor, a meal eaten before the sun rises. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar. Iftar usually begins with dates and sweet drinks that provide a quick energy boost.
Fasting serves many purposes. While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion as well as kinship with fellow believers.
Eid al-Fitr
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which in 2015 occurs on July 17. Literally the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family.
A sense of generosity and gratitude colors these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan. As the month draws to a close, Muslims are obligated to share their blessings by feeding the poor and making contributions to mosques.

Today, Aid al-Adha is celebrated among all Muslims all over the world
Eid al-Adha meaning "feast of sacrifice" or Eid al-Kebir meaning "big party" as opposed to Eid el-Fitr called Eid as-Seghir, or "little feast", is the most important Islamic festivals. It takes place on the 10th of the month of dhu al-hijja, the last month of the Muslim calendar and marks the end of hajj each year.
In Tunisia, as everywhere else in Muslim lands, this festival is symbolized by the slaughter of a sheep in memory of the sacrifice of Ibrahim to whom God had sent a sheep with the angel Gabriel to replace Ismael, the only son of this first who agreed to slaughter his son.
On the first day of the Aid, the men wake up very early to go to the mosque for the Aid prayer! It is after the prayer that the sheep can be slaughtered according to a precise ritual; part of the flesh of this sacrifice will benefit the poorest among the Muslims, thus strengthening solidarity and mutual assistance as prescribed by God.
It is a day of reconciliation where everyone is invited to forgive the one who has wronged him.
The photo I have chosen today shows the Minaret of the Great Mosque of Kairouan also called Oqba Ibn Nafi mosque in memory of its founder Oqba Ibn Nafi, is one of the main mosques of Tunisia located in Kairouan. Historically the first Muslim metropolis of the Maghreb, Kairouan, whose political and intellectual heyday is in the ninth century, is reputed to be the spiritual and religious center of Tunisia; it is also sometimes considered the fourth holy city of Sunni Islam
I wish all Muslims an Eid Mubarak and Happy day to my friends!
