Eid Around the World

Eid Al Fitr is celebrated on the first of Shawwal, the tenth month in Muslim calendar. It marks the end of Ramadan, during which they have fasted. Ramadan is a holy month because it is the month in which the Holy Qura’an was revealed. Eid has an important aspect, that is charity which Muslims are expected to extend to the needy.

In Eid people visit each other and these visits always include coffee and special baked sweets filled with dates and nuts. Usually when someone dies people just offer Qahwah (coffee), if the person who died is considered as a martyr they will offer sweets.

Towns and villages become alive with people going from one house to the next, sharing greetings as they pass one another in the streets and each house invites the passers to come in and have something to eat or drink. Midday meal is a remarkable one during Eid Al Fitr, it usually consists of stuffed lamb (at least for those who still can afford it), or mansaf lamb (lamb meat cooked with yoghurt) or any other combination of meat and rice.

Happy Eid!
Eid Mubarak!

In Eid, people seizes the chance for new beginings and fresh starts in relations.
