Eid is a beautiful reminder to reflect, give thanks, and extend kindness to those around us. It is a time to come together in spirit, even when we are apart — to pray, help others, and hold on to hope through life’s challenges. As M. Fethullah Gülen reminds us, “Even in hard times, we keep hope and do good.”
At Grand River Friendship Society, we celebrate Eid through joyful visits, shared breakfasts, warm greetings, and heartfelt reflections that bring our community closer together. We embrace the spirit of the holiday by uplifting one another, spreading goodwill, and sharing in the joy of compassion.
Through acts of service, kindness, and connection — especially when no one is watching — we show that love is more than a feeling. It’s what we do. This Eid, we carry that message forward, with gratitude in our hearts and kindness in our actions.
