If someone provokes us, we should say, 'I'm fasting.' (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 10635.) That spirit carries into Eid. It's a chance to reach out, forgive, care for the less fortunate, and spread joy.

A centralized Eid’l Fitr celebration for Metro Cebu is set to take place at Plaza Independencia at 5 a.m. today, March 31, ahead of the nationwide holiday for the Islamic festival on Tuesday.
