The first positive thing that can be taken when unable to go home is having more rest time. Yes, before Eid holiday we only have very little free time to rest. This is because we observe fasting for a whole month, perform pre-dawn meal, and other voluntary prayers such as night prayers and itikaf in the mosque.

Not to mention if we have to prepare everything related to Eid, such as buying clothes, making cakes, going home using public or private transportation. All of these things will certainly be very tiring. However, if you decide not to go home, then some Eid activities can be reduced a little.

2. No Need to Think About Eid Preparations

Yes, as discussed earlier. If you are a migrant worker who works far from family, you may feel sad if you cannot spend time with your family. But there is a positive side, one of which is not having to think too much about Eid preparations.

You only need to prepare new clothes, for example. You also only need to prepare food for yourself or with siblings and friends who also cannot go home. Although it is indeed very sad, this will be an unforgettable experience in your life.

3. More Economical
