Muslims Across Europe Celebrate with Tradition, Reflection, Resilience
Ahmed Emam As Muslims across Europe prepare to mark Eid al-Adha this week, the mood is a blend of joy, deep-rooted tradition, and quiet reflection on the suffering of communities around the world. From the festive gatherings in the UK's West Midlands to the warm familial customs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Eid remains a deeply meaningful time — a spiritual milestone that both uplifts and unites. >>Eid in the Park: A Communal Celebration in the UK In Birmingham's Small Heath Park and Wolverhampton's West Park, tens of thousands are expected to gather this Friday for Eid in the Park, a celebration that has become a cornerstone of Muslim life in the West Midlands. Organized by community groups such as the Green Lane Mosque and Community Centre (GLMCC), the event is not only a prayer gathering but also a cultural festival — bringing together families, friends, and neighbors in the open air. Yet amid the festive spirit, there is a shared sense of global awareness. 'I think it would be an understatement to say that our hearts are with people who are suffering right now,' said Haniya Aadam of GLMCC, acknowledging the weight of ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises across the Muslim world. This year's Eid, she says, carries 'a collective grief and hope.' For many in the UK's diverse Muslim population, Eid al-Adha is both a spiritual duty and a day of public expression — of identity, solidarity, and faith in action. >>Bosnia's Bajram: A Tapestry of Tradition and Family In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Eid is known as Bajram, the festival is steeped in intimate family rituals and rich culinary traditions. Eid morning begins early, with the men of the family attending the Fajr (dawn) prayer followed by the Eid prayer, after which the family reconvenes at home for warm greetings, hand-kissing, and blessings. A centuries-old tradition continues as families serve lavish meals that include beloved dishes like sarma (cabbage rolls), Bosanski lonac (Bosnian pot), dolma, and Bey's soup. Desserts such as baqlava, ruzica, and tufahije are lovingly prepared — some passed down through generations. Children play a central role in the Bosnian Eid, receiving "bajramluk" — gifts of money or sweets — after visiting their elders. The joy of children is mirrored by nostalgic practices: sewing new clothes, reciting "tekbirs" in mosques, and gathering at the home of the oldest family member on the first day. The second day is more solemn — known as the Day of the Martyrs, many families visit cemeteries to honor the deceased. In some regions, a unique tradition called the 'Female Eid' once marked a fourth day, when women who had hosted guests for days would finally gather to celebrate amongst themselves. >>A Festival of Faith, Reflection, and Forgiveness Across Europe, Eid is more than a religious holiday — it is a cultural anchor. It serves as a moment of renewal, reconciliation, and forgiveness. Disputes are set aside, families reconnect, and communities come together — not only to share meals and exchange gifts but also to remember those in need. Whether under grey skies in the UK or under Balkan summer sun, the essence of Eid remains the same: a sacred celebration of sacrifice, charity, and unity. As families pray, feast, and reflect, this year's Eid is marked by both resilience and remembrance — a festival for the present, rooted in the past, and mindful of a hopeful future. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Abou El Enein: Two-State Solution Is Foundation for Sustainable Development
H-Tayea Deputy Speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives and President Emeritus of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), Mohamed Abou El Enein, delivered a powerful message at the South Partner Consultation Forum hosted by the American University in Cairo, emphasizing that the two-state solution is essential for peace, stability, and sustainable development across the Mediterranean region. Two-State Solution: The Cornerstone of Peace In his remarks, Abou El Enein stated unequivocally that the unresolved Palestinian issue is the main obstacle to progress in the southern Mediterranean. He emphasized that any serious effort to achieve regional development must begin with a political solution founded on justice and international legitimacy. 'The two-state solution is not a slogan—it is the only viable path to ensure peace and unlock prosperity,' he said. 'Without resolving the Palestinian cause, cycles of war will continue to hinder cooperation, scare away investment, and destabilize the region.' Egypt's Leadership and a Call for EU Action Highlighting Egypt's historic role in peacemaking and mediation, Abou El Enein praised Cairo's continuous efforts to restore calm in Gaza and support a long-term solution. He urged the European Union to translate its supportive statements into real, strategic action on the ground, starting with a clearer commitment to the two-state solution and the economic future of the South. 'While China arrives in Cairo with investment proposals and a clear plan, we need the same level of practical engagement from the EU,' he said, calling on Brussels to develop a roadmap that matches ambition with implementation. Economic Stability Requires Political Resolution Abou El Enein noted that political peace and economic prosperity go hand in hand. 'You cannot talk about energy projects, agriculture, or industry while bombs are falling in Gaza,' he said. 'Let us be honest—development is not possible in an environment dominated by conflict.' He emphasized that Egypt and its southern partners are ready for joint development, but international frameworks must prioritize justice and human dignity first. PAM's Role in Mediterranean Dialogue As President Emeritus of PAM, Abou El Enein reaffirmed the organization's full support for the new EU Pact for the Mediterranean and its active contribution to shaping the political and human rights dimensions of that framework. 'Our Charter for the Mediterranean, adopted in 2008, anticipated the same values being discussed today,' he said. He emphasized PAM's unique position as a non-governmental parliamentary platform with unmatched reach and trust across member states, committed to dialogue, peacebuilding, and concrete cooperation. Conclusion: From Words to Action In closing, Abou El Enein urged all stakeholders to move from consultation to commitment and to put the two-state solution back at the center of the Mediterranean partnership agenda. 'The time for half-measures is over. Let us build a new era of peace, but it must begin with justice—and that means a sovereign Palestinian state living in peace alongside Israel,' he concluded. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
