Celebrations, Celebrations

What first thing comes into your mind

When you hear these words

Joy, overwhelmed with happiness, cheerful moments

I'll tell you about my country celebrations

As Muslims, we fast for the whole month of Ramadan Kareem

When shawal moon is sighted

EID UL FiITAR is celebrated all around the world

Ramadan and Shawal are the Islamic months

To celebrate EID is the joyous moment for every Muslim

Girls apply henna on their hands

Wear colorful bangles and traditional clothes

Men specially dressed in shalwar kameez

And eat something sweet before leaving for Eid prayers

On EID prayers, everyone prays for the whole world

And people took special care for deserving ones

We thank Allah Almighty to give this opportunity to help others

We remember our loved ones on this special occasion

Eidi is given to kids and it's a gift from elders to young people

Shops were decorated with bright lights

Sweets, cakes and variety of deserts are the highlights of every single home

The scent of friendship, love and joy is in the air

And gives a peaceful feeling of togetherness among people

Sara Shahid.

This is such a lovely tradition to have that children can learn and enjoy about their culture.

Thank you for sharing this joyous and uplifting picture of Eid.

It's important to learn about such things - praying for the whole world is always apt, but it has such significance in these times.
