Eid Mubarak
This one Eid, we went to Jerard street to get clothes. Finaly after checking out a couple of stores I fell in love with this gorgeous pair of white shalwar kameez. It was simple and elegant. But I change my mind after i asked for the price which was well over a 100 bucks. I buy all my stuff top-notch 
- It’s all my dad and Fahim’s fault…they spoil me. But I could have bought like a really really nice pair for the same amount. So I told fahim im not going to get it, we’ll check out other stores. He asked me to go to the store next door and he will be there in a bit. We looked and looked but i couldnt find anything that Id be like “OH MY GOSH IM GETTIN IT!”. So, Fahim said he knew this other place that he would take me the next day. (Next day was Eid btw, I dont know why that didnt cross my mind at the time).
We came home. It was late at night when i was like “omg it’s eid tomorow and i dont have a dress”. I was really upset, really really really upset. He kissed me on my forehead and said he’ll take care of it. And i guess i was waiting for him to say that. 
Next morning when i wake up, I didnt see him beside me which is like impossible unless Im waking up for fajr - Cuz he is the first one to wake up. I go to the living room and i see the same pair of shalwar kameez that i first wanted to get!. Laid out nicley on the couch. Man, I was like, on cloud nine. But he wasnt there, he was in the washroom. So when he comes out hes like “Dammit! you werent suppose to find out yet!”. He said he had gotten it the same night but wanted to surprise me.
….
Sometimes I think he deserves someone much much better than I...
…
[Not trying to make him look like this perfect husband, we've seen each other at our best and worst...but Id just like to remember the best]
Anyway, yeah…Have a wonderful Eid you all 
.
*Love you guys*

Eid Kareem Mariya
I saw Abdul Qayyum on Eid day. I took Tashy with me in his little shalwar kurta and his little black turban, Masha’Allah. Abdul Qayyum cried when he looked at us sitting together greeting him Eid Mubarak.
I brought Tashy because he has a special place in Abdul Qayyum’s heart. Tayyab was my baby, so Tashy was his. Tashy would always wake up in the night and leave my bed to cross the hall to his Daddy’s room and crawl into bed with him.
Alhamdulillah, now he cries in gratefulness, no longer in suffering. Before he was in shock, believing this would all be straightened out very quickly, but now he can see all the lies and the plotting against all of them (17 and counting!), so he is strengthened in their innocence and is resolved to expose the liars, and is patient with what Allah has already written for him, Masha’Allah.
Now when he sees me, his face softens and his pain eases, and he puts his hand on the glass where my face shines through and calls me his houri. And when he sees his children, he is grateful that they are healthy and he can spend a few minutes talking through the phone as he gazes on them.
Now he can feel the blessings of Allah, each little moment of favour, what would normally be taken for granted each day, as the taste of one breaking his fast.
Alhamdulillah, Allah chose our husbands and our sons for such a test. We are only among the first of many to be unjustly accused and imprisoned, separated and astigmatized here in the United Provinces of America. May Allah strengthen us to stand strong as an example for those who come after us, Ameen
