Happy Independence Day

From a 7 year old American Muslim girl

4th of July is a day of joy when we all get together and celebrate our country and have fun. I will share how I as an American Muslim celebrate and spend time on the fourth of July.

4th of July is a national holiday and a day of special importance for our country. As a Muslim child, what I would do on this special day is to be out of home enjoying with my family and friends. It is not only a day of great importance but also a day of fun. At the same time I don't forget to pray and do all other good deeds that I know. As a Muslim our every celebration is through charity, enjoyment, and prayer.
