In the tranquility of early morning, a Muslim rises gently and proceeds to welcome the ending of Ramadan with Eid’l Fitr. Eid’l Fitr, which means “Feast of the Breaking of the Fast,” culminates the Muslim’s practice of fasting during the Islamic holy month. It is commemorated by a community-wide morning prayer service followed by joyous meals and conversations among friends and family.

One of the special events during Eid’l Fitr is that it brings people together like a big family. Muslims meet up at mosques and in their neighborhoods. They pray together, especially during Taraweeh prayers. They also share meals with their loved ones and help others who need it.

The timing of Eid relies on the sighting of the crescent moon. It has been said that the sighting of the crescent moon is crucial to the Islamic calendar since it marks the beginning of a new lunar month and guides the timing of important events such as the beginning and end of Ramadan.

Eid'l Fitr holds a special place in Muslims' hearts worldwide. It's a time of happiness and gratitude, serving as a well-deserved reward for those who have diligently fasted throughout the holy month of Ramadan. People from all walks of life unite like a family, regardless of background. It's a moment of togetherness and support, where everyone, rich or poor, shares in the same joy.

Eid Mubarak!
