This past weekend, the world celebrated Eid in quarantine – but that didnโ€™t 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. Letโ€™s take a look at some of our favorites, category by category!

The category isโ€ฆ 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 uhโ€ฆ you know. #coronaviiiiiiirus

Iโ€™m 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? Iโ€™m feeling pink all of a suddenโ€ฆ

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 womenโ€™s US 9? Asking for a friend.

Iโ€™m obsessed with this girlโ€™s care-free, casual look. Is it just me, or does the stacked gold necklace look never get old? Neither does a lovely smile.ย

Iโ€™m SPEECHLESSโ€ฆ the beauty has left me without words. AND she made the dress herself? We love a designer AND a model. *heart eyes emoji*

Not only is he rocking multiple prints on his physical person, but is also posted up in a printed room. Itโ€™s 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 โ€œpower pinkโ€ of 2021. She keeps it graceful and soft while rocking a bold statement color.ย
