EID IN QUM

Most people think that spending the month of Ramadhan in a Muslim country is lively and exciting. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for Qum. Ramadhan here was quiet, apart from the few invitations we received, and the 3 iftars at Dar al Zahra (the World Federation office in Qum). Eid was like any other day. The only indication that it was a holiday was that the streets were empty and the shops were closed. Next year, I’m definitely spending Eid in London!
