Marking the end of Ramada, Eid ul Fitr, is a 3 day celebration. Muslims all over the world thank God for having given them the will, strength, and endurance to observe the fast and practice self control.
The feast of Fitr is God's reward for those who fast during the holy month of Ramadan. In this month, man should try to add to his true knowledge of God, do acts of charity for the needy, and renew his beliefs toward his lord. On this day do honor God for His endless and all-enhancing mercy.*
There are special services held in open fields and mosques where hundreds of Muslims attend wearing their finest attire. After the prayers, friends and family gather to celebrate. There are parties, feasts, carnivals, picnics, fireworks, bazaars; all events designed to bring people together in this time of celebration.
Some people celebrate this time in other ways. While some help deliver the money collected during Ramadan to the needy, others will visit elders, or pay respects to those who have passed on.
This day, in the Muslim world, brings rejoicing and happiness. The rejoicing is not, however, at the departure of the month of Ramadan; it is the happiness which man feels after successfully completing an important task.*
Congratulations and Eid Mubarak!
