As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims around the world get ready for Eid al-Fitr, the ‘festival of breaking the fast.’
During Eid, Muslims celebrate in various ways.
1. Prayers
The day starts with special prayers at the mosque, where Muslims gather to pray and give thanks for completing Ramadan.
2. New Attire
Many people buy new clothes, such as jalamia for men or abaya for women, to wear on Eid day.
3. Delicious Feasts
Families and friends come together for large feasts, enjoying traditional dishes and sweets.
4. Eidiyah
Elders often give children money, called “eidiyah,” as a gift to mark the occasion.
5. Generosity
It’s also a time for giving to those less fortunate, with many Muslims donating to charity or providing meals for those in need.
