3. In Arabic, ”Eid” means something which recurs and is repeated, over certain periods of time. The end of Ramadan is a big celebration called “Eid-al-Fitr”. In the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast for 29 to 30 days. They do not eat or drink anything, from dawn to sunset. At the end of the day, after sunset, all the family members eat together and celebrate their day of fasting. Keeping fast for the entire month makes them self-disciplined. The prophet Muhammad started the practice of fasting, and other Muslims follow his example. On the occasion of Eid, Muslims celebrate the end of fasting and thank Allah for helping them to be strong enough to fast.
The festival begins when the first sight of the new moon is seen in the sky. Everyone wakes up early in the morning and takes a bath. They wear new attire and get ready in their best clothes. They decorate their homes which give a festive look and atmosphere. The men of the family go to a local mosque to offer prayers while the women read the Namaz at home. After the Eid prayers, they visit their neighbors, friends, and relatives. They greet each other by saying “Eid Mubarak” or “Eid Saeed”. They give gifts to children and have festive meals. “Sewaiyan”, a form of sweet dish, is specially made on this occasion. People also make phone calls to those who stay far away from them, to exchange festive wishes. The celebrations may continue for two-three days and vary from region to region.
