EID

         Eid-al- Fitr is a celebration that is held after the month of Ramadan, in which Muslim people fast for it is a supplication to Allah. Eid is the time for Muslims to give charity to the needy people and celebrate Eid with Family and friends. The last few days before Eid, each Muslim family is committed to give a donation to the needy. The donation is supposed to be real food for example rice, barley, dates…etc. This is to ensure that the needy can celebrate Eid too. This donation is known as sadaqah-al-fitr.

 

On the Eid day all Muslims in the city gather up at a location such as a mosque and perform the morning Eid prayer. After the Eid prayer, Muslim families visit relatives and friends. People give gifts and money to the children. These activities traditionally continue for three days. In most Muslim countries, there are 3 days holiday for Eid.
