By: Mohamed Ali
NEW YORK, United States: New York's iconic Empire State
Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim
holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar
marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, officials said.
"This is the first time that the Empire State Building will be
illuminated for Eid, and the lighting will become an annual event in
the same tradition of the yearly lightings for Christmas and Hannukah,"
according to a statement.
An estimated seven million Muslims live in the United States.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
