Eid Mubarak
Yesterday was the final day of Eid for many Muslims in the UK, and cross the world. Eid Mubarak means Happy Eid.
From Ramadantimetable.co.uk: Eid-Ul-Fitr is the feast that marks the end of the month-long Ramadan fasting. It begins with great excitement. On the last evening of the fast, Muslims wait patiently to find out whether the following day is Eid. Once Eid day is confirmed Muslims call all their friends, families and relatives and congratulate them on a very successful fast.
Eid is a very festive day, as relatives and friends come together. Children get gifts and presents off of their family, friends and relatives. Special food and sweets are prepared and the houses are decorated and prepared for guests and relatives. This is also the last day for sending *Zakat. People also go and visit the cemetery to remember their loved ones who have departed from this world. Eid is a day of tears and joy, forgiveness and love.
The start of Eid depends on the sighting of the moon to mark the end of the month. Different communities follow sightings in different countries and by different authorities.
