Do we have plans for Real Eid??????? comment

Egyptian poet Ahmad Shawqi (1868-1932), known in the Arab World as the 'Prince of Poets,' wrote:

My homeland, I pity you when comes Eid festivity
And I cry, passionately and remorsefully
I will have no Eid until I see you
A nation that is glorious and morally superior

I feel the same way. The actual Eid will arrive when the ummah will find glory. But do we have any plans for this glory or Eid to arrive?

Security when Kaaba doors open



Fortunately in this Shaaban, I was there to witness although very few people were there as spectators. And I would like to add that there was no restriction on entering the Masjid al Haram or on any other ritual i-e tawaf. From the outside doors no one can imagine that so much security is there and something out of routine is being done. Everyone was allowed to enter and perform Tawaf in Sahan-e-Kaaba.
