This past weekend, the world celebrated Eid in quarantine – but that didnโt stop Black Muslims from taking over social media for #BlackoutEid. The hashtag was created by Aamina Mohammed, a screenwriter and producer based in Minnesota, as a response to lack of representation of Black Muslims in Eid style coverage. Now in its eighth year, #BlackoutEid packed more heat than ever this year. Letโs take a look at some of our favorites, category by category!

Better late than never, Eid Mubarak

Quite an unusual Ramadan but super grateful to be here. In strong effort to be in my Eid mood, here's me wishing you a life as colourful, breakthroughs from all that you seek and happiness that's unparalleled ๐๐ #BlackoutEid pic.twitter.com/BhK96gjyll
The category isโฆ a pop of color! This yellow paired with her massive smile just makes me happy, what else can I say? This image could be a movie poster or book cover tbh.ย
Absolutely loving the blue, loving the attitude, and the power pose. This WAS the energy I was trying to channel in 2020, until uhโฆ you know. #coronaviiiiiiirus
Iโm a sucker for the color magenta and some bomb henna. This girl gets my vote. Anyone have any good recommendations for at-home dye brands? Iโm feeling pink all of a suddenโฆ
ย This is a classic fit for the fellas. Not to mention, this is just a beautiful photograph all around. Do you think they make these chappals in a womenโs US 9? Asking for a friend.

Iโm obsessed with this girlโs care-free, casual look. Is it just me, or does the stacked gold necklace look never get old? Neither does a lovely smile.ย

Not only is he rocking multiple prints on his physical person, but is also posted up in a printed room. Itโs all about the attention to detail here. 10/10ย

Honorable mention to this beautiful girl here in the all pink ensemble. I dub this shade the official โpower pinkโ of 2021. She keeps it graceful and soft while rocking a bold statement color.ย
