Eid Mubarak!
Eid is celebrated to mark the end of Ramzan, the Islamic
holy month of fasting. Eid-Ul-Fitr in Arab means ‘Festival of breaking the
fast’. This festival symbolizes faith to the Muslims.
During the month of Ramzan people not only restrain
themselves from food, but also abstain from all kind of evil activities. The
month full of fasting ends with Eid, as a reward for the ones who fasted.
Though the main festivity falls on the first day, Eid is celebrated for three
days.
On this day, Muslims from across the world gather for prayer
celebration, for a three day celebration where families and friends get
together, rejoice and share their Ramadan experience. It is a fun and
significant occasion; one that people will remember until the next time Ramadan
comes around.
Special prayer services are held on this day in large
congregation halls or in open fields. Muslims from all walks of life attend the
prayers dressed in new clothes, wearing their favourite fragrance. Afterwards,
when people gather at home with friends and family, they send gifts to each
other such as sweets, cash and garments.
