Eid Mubarak !

Dear all

First of all ... Eid Mubarak to all our readers, fellow bloggers and everybody else out there.

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break fast"; and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.

Eid ul-Fitr is a day long celebration and is sometimes also known as the "Smaller Eid" .Muslims are commanded by the Qur'an to complete their fast on the last day of Ramadan and then recite the Takbir all throughout the period of Eid.Common greetings during this holiday are the Arabic greeting ‘Īd mubārak ("Blessed Eid") or ‘Īd sa‘īd ("Happy Eid"). Public Eid prayers are held in every Mosque and in public places.The Takbir is recited after having confirmation that the moon of Shawwal is sighted on the eve of the last day of Ramadan. It continues until the start of the Eid prayer. The biggest prayer is held in Mosalla (a spacious place for prayer) where the Supreme Leader leads the prayer.

Again...wishing you all a very happy Eid. Enjoy !
