this is going to be the first eid

any idea how to get rid of this loneliness
 
Are you studying away from home? You could always phone? Don't worry there should be some Muslims around and you always have us on the forum ;)
 
im working abroad

yea can phone but cant stay on phone 4 12 hrs it will be just 15 mins.....

yea I am planing to stay on forum insha allah will see

here in UAE 2maro eid
 
Sorry to hear you are feeling lonely Brother :(
I'm going to be celebrating eid alone also, as non of my family are muslim :(

I'm sure you will be able to find some other muslims in UAE to celebrate with :)
 
Is there any activity in your masjid after the eid prayer?
Maybe you can stay and join them?

Is there some sort of muslim community from your homecountry where you can join?

When I was studying in Australia, the indonesian muslim community would organize a barbeque after sholat ied, so we always had people around to talk to and enjoy the food.
 
What? You are now doing Job? So bad of you, Mr. president! Just relax.

I had many such Eids and did not had any internet or any other thing to spend time with but still never felt lonely(I had friends and other relatives in the same city but would not take more than 2 hours and finish meeting with them all :) ). I was a bit worried when on an Eid got seriously ill and no one was there to attend me. I could not even get up to pick a bottle of water from fridge.

I like the idea of br. naidamar that try finding a masjid with collective qurbani / Zabiha activity and offer your services for free :p they will be more than happy.... you can at least give them drinking water when they feel thirsty while working on cows :)

I think calling back home is costly from UAE. Alternate, read some books or go to bed and depreciate your sleep :X

Eid Mubaraak! :)
 
Wishing you a wonderful Eid, Mr President.
So sorry to hear that you are celebrating on your own ...

How would you be celebrating, if you were with your friends and family?

Why not watch an Islamic movie? I always watch The Message, I never get bored of it or read the English translation of the Qur'an.

Eid Mubaraak!
 
This is my first Eid away from home too. To make matters worse I have to go university tomorrow. My flat mate is a Muslim but she wants to do something else. imsad

tx for sharing tilmeez

The problem is since I don't know arabic I don't think I can participate and help another thing
if its a south asian country I know how they do things ... i mean qurbani and alll but I don't know how they do it here
 
do you have any friends around there who are alone too? maybe you can meet up with them?

see whats going on in the masjids after salah, they might have something going on for everyone
 
:( first lonely eid for me as well. And I have a test in the morning... Perfect way to start Eid :s Also got no family in the country, just a few friends. anyhoo, eid mubarak to all of you!

Use this as a time to reflect upon the meaning of Eid ul-Adha. Sometimes solitude and away from family and friends gives us a chance to remember Allaah(swt) to a higher degree.

Do not fret over what is missing, look instead at what you have and take the opportunity to celebrate eid with piety. the chance does not always occur and this could be your last opportunity to Celebrate eid with Allaah(swt) alone.

Just like grandpa Woodrow said,take this time and use it wisely,some Muslims celebrate Eid excessively and forget about Allaah,this is a great opportunity to get closer with Allaah and do your best.

Otherwise you always have the forum and us(the members),insha'Allaah we will always be there for you.:)Eid Mubarak to you and all the other Muslims.
