“Eid al-Fitr or Eid ul-Fitr is a significant Muslim religious festival that is enthusiastically observed by Muslims around the world. “This day marks the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar, as well as the conclusion of Ramadan’s onemonth fast. It heralds the start of a feast and is also known as the “Festival of Eid.”
He said on this day, people thanked Allah for giving them the
stamina to observe a one-month fast and refrain from engaging in vices.
“The Eid ul-Fitr festival might span anywhere from one to three days, depending on the country,” Mr Mohammed said.
“Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated to mark the completion of Ramadan. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. “It’s an occasion to praise Allah
for the opportunity given to us during Ramadan to fast and pray. It’s a month in which good deeds are multiplied and sins are forgiven. He said Ramadan was Masha Allah a blessed month for his family. “It kept us super bonded and we were able to catch up on our Quran reading and increase our knowledge.”
