Happy Eid-ul-Fitr
Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. On this day, the month-long fasting period of Ramadan comes to an end. It is a major Muslim festival celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar (Hijri). It is also known as Meethi Eid as delicious seviyan is cooked in Muslim households to celebrate this festival.
The Muslim community celebrates this festival with great enthusiasm across the world. People pray to Allah for well-being and peace.
Eid-ul-Fitr has a certain Islamic prayer that is usually performed in an open field or large hall. It is performed in congregation, although social distancing is recommended by experts amid the pandemic.
This festival is known to have been started by Islamic prophet Muhammad. Certain traditions believe it to have originated in Medina after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca.
Eid ul-Fitr means the occasion of breaking the fast. The day stands for expressing gratitude to the almighty Allah for all that we have. It is believed that Muslims were commanded by Allah to continue fasting till the last day of Ramadan. According to the Holy book, Quran, devotees must pay the Zakat al-Fitr before offering the prayers for Eid.
Traditionally, the day begins at sunset on the night of the first sighting of the crescent moon. If the moon is not observed immediately after the 29th day of the previous lunar month, the holiday is celebrated the following day. It is forbidden to fast on the day of Eid. People make festive dishes like lachcha or sivayyan, made with toasted sweet vermicelli noodles mixed along with milk and dry fruits.
