We wish our Muslim families and friends all of the very best as they end the holy month of fasting. Eid al Fitr (25 or 26 June – dependent on the sighting of the moon) brings Ramadan to a close and we say “Eid Mubarak” and hope that this special day brings peace, happiness and prosperity.
We are assembled here in love,
We are united, we care for one another.
The greatest lesson of all is the one
That teaches us to live together, together.
Refrain:
Everyone’s a spark and in the night
Together we make a light, a fire burning bright
Ad Dei Gloriam; Inkosi mayibongwe:
To the glory of our God: this is what we believe.
In times of trouble we support
Our fellows; we are taught to be there for our friends.
And all around us, there will be
That special unity, that binds us all together.
If we come back after many years,
We will think fondly of the things that we remember,
And the friends that we made then,
These will be friends forever, forever.
