It took me a while to write this, because i guess we all tend to be a little one sided on reporting on things close to us.B ut this was one of the worst Eids i have ever had and i just had to get it out in the open.I am 61 and disabled and qualify for zakat ul fitr. I gave my Zakat ul fitr before Eid prayers. I made request for zakat and was told i would have to wait until it was calculated.I leave my phone number as i have transportation problem. No call so I get a ride to Jummah and inquired and was told it was not enough to go around.This is a big masajid.I had heard stories of racism in the masajids so i automatically looked for signs. I say that the muslims of african descent had their own eid celebration while those of mideastern descent had theirs. It began to remind me of the thing about if you dont go to my church dont ask for no help. The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) said the earth is the masajid.So with no funds its hard to party but i had a wonderful Ramadan for a old man.
