Eid al Fitr 2017

Eid al Fitr 2017

Eid al Fitr 2017 was on Sunday, 25th of June 2017. 

Eid al Fitr is celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal, after the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan culminates with the festive occasion of Eid ul Fitr as Muslims thank Allah (SWT), celebrating the festival with religious fervor.


The month of Ramazan is full of celebration and festivity as the Muslims immerse themselves in reading the Quran and Duas and spending maximum time doing Dhikr. The Muslims fast the whole month as it teaches them the true meaning of perseverance and tolerance while being empathetic towards the poor and needy.


At the end of the month of Ramzan, the Muslims are rewarded with the festival of Eid al Fitr. It is important to note that it is forbidden to fast on the day of Eid.


Each country’s celebrations vary as they are heavily influenced by the local traditions. Muslims all over the world celebrate the festival of Eid al Fitr by starting the day with the Eid prayer. After the Eid prayers, people greet each other with the customary Eid greeting, Eid Mubarak with a formal embrace, three times. The day is spent with friends and family as they get together indulging in eating and handing out Eidi (gifts given to kids on Eid). Everyone gets new clothes made for the special occasion as every single person wants to look his/her best. The festival revolves around the theme of togetherness and happiness. In essence, Muslims celebrate the blessings bestowed upon them by Allah (SWT).
