"It doesn't feel like it, soon we will celebrate Eid al-Fitr again. The victory over desires for a full month of fasting will be celebrated on this blessed day. As Eid al-Fitr approaches, the tradition of going back to one's hometown to visit family has become a routine tradition for most Indonesians. However, it's not just about preparing for the needs of going home; you and your family also need to prepare your hearts and selves to welcome the day of victory. This household tip will share the things that need to be prepared to purify the heart and self in welcoming Eid al-Fitr."

• Improving one's appearance
  The first household tip in preparing to welcome Eid al-Fitr is to improve one's appearance or dressing style. If there is extra fortune, there is nothing wrong with buying new clothes that are more modest or polite to present oneself better in accordance with religious recommendations. However, avoid excessive changes in appearance, such as wearing too much jewelry, dyeing hair in striking colors, or wearing a headscarf that seems glamorous and luxurious. 

• Increase worship
  In welcoming Eid al-Fitr, cleanse your heart by getting closer to Allah. It would be wonderful if you and your family could together increase your worship, such as attending religious lectures, reciting dhikr after prayers, and engaging in activities like breaking the fast or sahur on the road with our less fortunate brothers and sisters. 

• Learning to forgive the mistakes of others
  "Sometimes, our goals and thoughts do not align with others. In fact, often your heart will be hurt because of the actions of others. Perhaps that person is unaware of their mistake and does not apologize to you. However, there is nothing wrong with cleansing your heart by forgiving the mistakes of others and not being vengeful. This should not only be done when welcoming Eid al-Fitr, but it is best to do it every day." 

• Don't forget to pay zakat fitrah
  You should know that zakat before Eid is different from the income zakat that is given every month. In Indonesia, zakat fitrah generally consists of 2.5 kg of rice, which is distributed on the night of takbir or the night before Eid al-Fitr. This zakat is given to our less fortunate brothers and sisters so that they can also feel the happiness of welcoming Eid.

• Fixing the house
  Not only oneself needs to be improved, but the house also needs to be cleaned and arranged neatly to welcome Eid. The cleanliness and tidiness of your home reflect your own personality. This is especially important if your home will receive visits from family. With a neat and clean house, family and relatives who come to visit you will certainly feel comfortable. You can try adjusting the position of the sofa; it doesn't have to be expensive, you can even rent a sofa during the Eid period if needed, which can save costs. There are many places to rent sofas, such as at oscarliing.

"Eid will soon arrive in the near future. Have you and your family prepared your hearts and selves to welcome it? If not, let's invite all family members to start preparing from now!"
