Alish has joined us from Tehran. The purpose of sending her photo she writes in her email that she just wants to wish Happy Eid Day to all Muslims. She tells a little about eid moon sighting time that the Shawal moon announces the arrival of Eid-ul-Fitar. It is the end of Ramazan, the holy month of fasting. The next morning, the Muslims assemble in a great thanks-giving congregation. They thank the merciful Allah for giving them the opportunity and strength to observe the sacred fasts. They ask Him to forgive them for their weaknesses and sins. They reaffirm their vow of faithfulness to Allah.
Alish more tells that the evening when the moon is expected to appear is a memorable evening. As the sun goes down, the faithful break their fast and offer the Nimaz-e-Maghrib. They rush to the roofs of their houses and join the search for the Shawal moon. They turn their eyes towards the western horizon. On every housetop there are scores of people, all scanning the sky with keen, expectant eyes. After the Shawal moon is sighted, people raise their hands in prayers. Children are particularly fond and excited about seeing the Eid Moon. As they sight it, their faces usually light up with joy. Dinner is eaten in a joyous mood and plans for the next days are made. What would everyone wear and what will be the menu for the food. Many people hit the roads to go to their loved ones if they live in another city.

Sabah Emad is from Mashhad. Sabah has emailed her photo through our contact form. She tells that I am doing graduation from a local university of Mashhad and my hobby is rose planting. Sabah tells that I have a little knowledge about roses, which I want to share with readers that roses are most often associated with love. Each color has a different angle to take.
For example a red rose stands for passion, romance and perfection. It is the traditional way to say, “I love you”. Often used in weddings since time immemorial, it has come to stand for fidelity and faithfulness.

A white rose is purity, innocence and honor. White roses are often used as a symbol of remembrance at funerals. One can also have white be the color of true love or secrecy. Used frequently in wedding bouquets, it suggests unity, virtue and the new bond of matrimony. Young love is yet another aspect of this beautiful flowers. A white rose may symbolize a young girl and may carry the meaning of one who is too young yet for love.

For a pink rose Sabah writes that a pink rose is grace, elegance and happiness. They may also stand for appreciation or joy. Pink is also the color of admiration. You could also imply the same, yet gentler meanings as a red rose. It may suggest gratitude, sweetness or poetic romance. Pale pinks can express sympathy.

A yellow rose is infidelity, friendship or joy. Some consider them a sign of warmth or happiness. They may suggest power or jealousy and dying love. They can also symbolize platonic love or express an apology.

An orange rose is enthusiasm and desire. These beautiful flowers may also mean passion, excitement, and the desire for strong romance. They could suggest that a friendship turn into a romance, since orange is a blending of yellow and red. They can be given as a gift to mean “I’m proud of you.”

A lavender rose is the symbol of enchantment or love at first sight. It is associated with royalty and romance, so it often suggests splendor and majesty. Perhaps, you could have it also include the meanings of the nonexistent blue rose, and have it mean wonder and magic. Well Sabah thank you very much for sharing such a useful information, we believe that readers will really enjoy this post.
