EID AL FITR

Updated: May 18, 2023



The holy month of Ramadan comes to a conclusion with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. It is also a time when believers express appreciation to Allah for granting them the chance and the strength to carry out His directives during the holy month of Ramadan. This is another important aspect of the holiday. In virtually every Muslim nation, the holiday of Eid al-Fitr is customarily celebrated over the course of three days.


The Islamic Prophet Muhammad, who is also known as the founder of Islam, was the one who first instituted the holiday of Eid. When the Prophet arrived in Madinah, he saw that the people there were celebrating two different holidays. They commemorated the occasion by participating in activities that provided them with amusement and enjoyment.


In the religion of Islam, the holiday of Eid al-Fitr is a religious obligation that must be observed and carried out. The festival of Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by a significant number of Muslims all around the world. They never fail to make certain that the lessons are communicated to each and every generation. Every year, Muslims also commemorate Eid al-Adha, which is known as the Festival of Sacrifice and Calls for Faith in the Teachings of Allah.


The festival of Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the 29 or 30 days of fasting that Muslims observe. It occurs exactly on the first day of Shawwal, which is the Islamic month. At the beginning of Eid, people perform special prayers in accordance with Islamic tradition. The act of praying in Islam is broken up into two halves called rakats, which are performed in an open field or a huge auditorium.


The holiday of Eid al-Fitr is observed for the purpose of commemorating the spiritual advancements that have been made throughout the month of Ramadan. These advancements can be summarized as an enhanced commitment to God, increased self-discipline, and increased acts of generosity towards the less fortunate. In the course of the celebration, Muslims spread the message to people who are in need of assistance. One of the major tenets of Islam is the practice of sharing.


Additionally, it is a day that is celebrated as a public holiday in several nations and in the Muslim world. The preparation of Eid food and other traditional delights is an integral part of the holiday celebration. The meals are not only split among those present but also donations are made to those who are less fortunate. It is also a season for making donations to charitable organizations.


We wish the Muslim Community across the world a blessed celebration

Eid’l Fitr Al-Mubarak!
