Islam is a major religion in Trinidad. Not sure exactly, but it's much more than the 5% cited on some websites. But when a holiday falls on a Sunday we get the Monday off, that doesn't happen elsewhere? And we have one of the highest numbers of holidays in the world, 16 annually.

Eid Mubarak to you guys...:choc:
:lol:


Anyway Eid Mubarak to everyone.
To you too...

I watched a program on AlJazeera Mubasher on the day before Ramadan started. There were many astronomers who spreaded all over the Islamic world using advanced microscopes to see if the moon can be seen that day. They all had consensus that it was so impossible to see it. After that, Jordan said that somebody saw the moon and the other countries followed as if it is just a political thing, not taking in consideration any astronomical or religious considerations. The same happens when waiting for Eid. Aljazeera Mubasher will have another program today, by the way.

When I was a kid in Saudi Arabia, there was a rumour each Ramadan that if Ramadan will be 30 days in one year, King Fahad would die in that exact year. That is the reason we always saw Eid coming after the 29th day of Ramadan. Hell, we even fasted 28 days once.

There's no Eid for me unless my father calls me into his office and gives me an envelope with some cash in it. :groan:
Threaten him to take Zakat from other people if he does not give you what you want. It is your opportunity. Exploit it fully.
