What Is Eid Al-Fitr?
Eid Al-Fitr means “festival of breaking the fast” and marks the end of Ramadan. It is celebrated with full ardour for three days in all Muslim-majority countries.
How Is The Occasion Celebrated?
On this occasion, which lasts for three days, Muslim citizens travel long distances to visit their families. A variety of food is prepared in the houses and the visitors keep coming and going in the houses throughout the day. Muslims begin their Eid celebrations by performing post-dawn prayers, followed by a short address.
The prayers take place in mosques or large halls but in many countries, they also take place in an open area. People congratulate one another after Eid prayers.
Children, dressed in new clothes, are offered gifts and money, termed as ‘Eidi’ to celebrate the joyful festival.
Also, each country has traditional desserts and sweets that are prepared before Eid or on the morning of the first day.
But this time, millions of Muslims will not be able to enjoy the joys of Eid as they are confined to their homes due to the COVID-19 outbreak globally.
