Celebrating Eid ul Fitr in France !

Eid greetings to all! May God bless us all with the best of this world and hereafter.

The month of Ramadan finally ended and, by the grace of God, we celebrated Eid ul Fitr on 1st October this year in France. I am not going to write much in this post but rather add some pictures to capture the experience of celebrating Eid in France especially with other MBA participants.

Eid sermon and prayer was held in the Town hall of Massy Pallasieu. I reached the Townhall at 8:45am with a Tunisian and an Indian friend. Just check out the crowd and the nice picturesque setting of the town hall in this small French town!

Following the morning prayers and a short visit to my Tunisian friends house, we came back to HEC Campus. We decided to host a short get together in the evening with the other MBA participants. A few snaps of this nice evening jaded with warm Arabic tea and sweets are below.

Once again wishing you a happy Eid !
