Jannat Zubair Shares Her Favorite Eid Tradition: Giving and Receiving Eidi
When asked about any specific traditions she enjoys, Jannat quickly replies that she loves giving and receiving Eidi. “We usually ask our elders for Eidi, which is money given as a gift of love. When I was younger, I didn’t give Eidi to anyone, no one expected it from me! But now, while I still receive Eidi, I also give it. This balance has made Eid even more special for me,” she shares, adding, “This Eid, I’m just feeling incredibly blessed for all the love around me and the opportunities that keep coming my way.”
